Hi All!

Long time reader...old-time VX owner...soon to be back in the fold. I used to own a 1999 Ironman VX, back in the day. I loved that car.

Sadly, I got married.

The VX just wasn't working out for us, since the woman I married had a 3-year-old daughter. We thought something bigger, with four doors, might be more "practical".

I hate that word. Practical. If i was a "practical" guy, I wouldn't have been driving a VX in the first place. (For that matter, I probably wouldn't have gotten married either, but that's a long story.)

So, yeah. I sold the VX and got myself into a 2005 Infiniti FX35 with the Sport Package. Nice car...quick, quiet, all the amenities, leather, heated seats, cup holders, about a million speakers, etc. A perfect family CUV (Costco Utility Vehicle).

It bored me to tears. No, really, it's a great car, technically. Just kinda dull after the VX.

Now the marriage is, shall we say, not going so great. Might be doomed. Hard to say. Okay, probably doomed. And I MISS MY VX!

So here's the plan: put the FX35 on Autotrader for awhile and try to get it sold. Shop around for a good-condition VX...preferably Ebony, so I can stealth it all out. Get some nice new wheels and tires, Dynamat it and get the stereo up to speed, throw the dog in it and go flyfishing.

Who's with me? For that matter, who knows of a decently low-mileage Ebony VX on the market?

For all you VXers I met at the Seattle gathering a few years back, I hope you'll welcome me back into the VX fold...
