Ok, so that post was in January 2004. (when he going through a "d" right now.) And he said then that his VX would be paid off next year.

And then in February of 2005, he's trying to sell it, because he's already several months behind on payments.

Sound right??

Could he have used it as collateral in another loan?

that is so perdy!!! I will keep my ears opened. Everyone wants one once they see mine, but no one really wants one, if you know what I am saying.... talk is cheap, show me some cash!!!

I one day will be in the market for VX#2, and I hope it is in as great as shape as yours. Mine will be paid off next year, and then I want to buy a street one, and get my 99 vx ready for the big stuff!!! Ya know, 4 mies to the gallon type of stuff.....

Anyway, dreams, dreams!! Maybe I will just get a 350Z, they look really nice next to the VX.. The Saint has one, cool!!!! they even match colors!

I am going through a D right now, so I know the feeling! Best of luck!

Are you guys able to see the post to which this is in response?

I don't want to slog back through there, but wasn't someone trying to sell their VX and Raven responded to it?

Those images and short movie are amazing. Technology facsinates me. I also downloaded the image of the girl with red streaks as my desktop background! Hope the wife doens't get jealous of a computer image!!!

Playboy? Maybe, the short wasn't anything sexy, just realistic... Too cool how the facial features look so natural and the texture of the skin so real...

HOWEVER, I clicked on this thread from the main page and thought is was a 3D rendering of the VX....bummer! __________________

A Very Long Drive
So, I'm in Chicago next week for business, flying in Sunday and then staying through Wednesday afternoon.... Sounds fun, will enjoy the site seeing... Then I am turning around and driving to Indiana from North Carolina! I am crazy!!!!

I am leaving Thursday morning to arrive in Attica Thursday night I guess. Is anyone planning on being up there sooner or camping or anything? Just wondering cause my wife and I and my dog will probably be there (not sure about the wife, but for sure me and the dog!)

I need to read our 6 pages of thread to figure out the details again, I am getting excited! __________________

4wheelparts.com.. grrrrrrrr
Ya'All, Don't know if I will be making it. I just got back from Chicago and my wife is giving me a hard time about leaving since we are moving next week!!!! Women!

If I don't make it, I will soon connect with some VX crew. I am feeling quite lonely out here in NC.

I wanted to say afew things about the quote that 4wheelparts is the best 4 wheel place. I know that there is one in Charlotte, NC and this is what I have to say.... I spent $2k on parts for my jeep, from springs, to seats, liner, push bars, pitman arms, steering columns, etc... All the accessories get in and I take the jeep in to have it all installed (because I don't have a garage to do it myself) and the freakin company calls me and said they can't cause the jeep has a spring over and they don't work on spring over lifts.... Holy Cow, it was their staff that came out, surveyed my car, recommended the correct solutions, and **** like that... And then they say they can't install any of it!!! PLuS, PLUS, PLUS, they recommended I sell the VX instead of mod it and spend the money I woud have spent lifing the VX and shiz to fix up my jeep!!!! F$*#&$'s

Just a few days!!! __________________

Yes, exactly.

I'm just curious about the "going through a D, so I know the feeling" statement. I'm interested in knowing how that relates to whatever conversation was going on.

As well as I remember that particular VX board post, without digging up exactly, the person selling a VX mentioned that he was going through a divorce. In responding, Raven made the statement you reference...

Misterallgood, blogged the find (can I pat myself on the back!)

Oh good. It seems like it might be an important conversation to have documented somewhere.

All my posts are here regarding the VX. Rooster I appreciate you letting me know that the VX was repainted. Thank you for clearing that up.

BUMP to make this thread easier to find.

I searched myself silly trying to prove Raven was trying to sell the VX and then found the two different colors. It never dawned on me someone would take a white vehicle and paint it black! Having had a few repaint jobs, I know that just isn't something that is *done*.

Why don't you think this is something you just don't do GM????

After some hail damage I was determined to change my vehicle from a bright red to a darker red color. I never was really happy when all was said and done. I was warned too and was too thick-headed to listen. I'd have a heart-attack over the slightest ding because I had the risk of color problems It costs a lot more money to completely change a vehicles color like that. You have to take it down to the metal and take very single part off to repaint. If not when you open the car doors, jams etc. the previous color would show through.

Ahhhh, that makes sense.

I learned my lesson. Most reputable paint companies will tell you the same. It would cost a whole lot to switch from white to black and have it look good. And, the VX does look good.

Well from Raven's postings on the VX website, he didn't seem to like or listen to anybody that tried to tell him not to put money into his VX!

He could have saved himself a bunch by sticking with the white and the VX would still look great. I guess you could chalk that one up to another poor financial decision.
