So I checked for what was available from above and put the ones that are in bold.
Gf didn't get luvthev but also things it isn't as cool as drthvagn. So for does it look better DRTHVAGN, DRTHVGON, or DARTHVGN?
The only other one at this point I was thinking of thinking of doing is VDRZL1 cause a lot of people do 5DRZL1 and I thought using the Roman numeral V instead of 5 was cool for it.
I love that one...Darth Vagin...
I took a gander around yesterday...still same shit, prices are too high but there are some options with prices looking decent. Then again, in South Florida probably repaired accidents.
Some pictures from my trip home. The box was amazing to have. I only seem to really lose about 1.5mpg with it on the highway too. I have concerns about lowering the car now though. with the box completely full and 4 dogs in the back I already had basically no wheel gap as you can see in the pictures.
Still clean and stopping for some fuel early on.
Box was just finished being loaded but the dog food containers and dogs were not in the back yet.
This photo adds 150lbs of dogs inside plus about 50lbs of dog food. I am not sure how much more is good for the wagon.
No regrets at all. The Vagon is the perfect road trip vehicle. Loving every minute of it. Still hoping I can get away with lowering it though with springs and maybe just remove the spacers when I am going to be making trips with the box and back full so I don't rub. I really want to get everything flush this spring. Already loving the car more now that I blacked out most of the chrome as it just looks so much more aggressive.
Forgot about these two pictures. He is the huge area the dogs had in the back. The only bit of space they didn't have was the two large food containers in the rear covered by the blanket. Otherwise they had the entire area of the seat folder down all the way to the back of the front seats cause of the hammock cover I have lets them even lay in the gap up front.
Do you have trouble with dog hair getting embedded in the headliner? I'd think that with big dogs and a low roof like that, you'll have a fuzzy roof before too long.

That shirt helps him with seperation anxiety. It tightly wraps around his mid section to help him feel safe some home. It definitely works though. Without it he freaks out and barks even if I am pumping gas right outside the window of the car where he can see me.
I don't know about the hair I haven't checked. I have not had issues with it in the past so hopefully I won't now. If it gets fuzzy I hope I can just use a lint roller to get the hair off.
So was going through my app I track all gas, repairs, maintenance, and mileage in for my cars and in the first four months of owning the Vagon I have put 9200 miles on it. That was basically just Oct - Dec of 2015. Since I picked it up Sept 4th but really didn't have all the paperwork finished till Oct 2nd. So much for my theory that I had started to drive a lot less lately. If that keeps up I will put 27000 miles on it in the first year of ownership.
Luckily the 27k is only an estimate if I kept up the current mileage. However, I normally put a lot of mileage on my cars around the holiday periods. It should slow down though now until Easter.
Yeah I should be moved to my new house closer to work in the next 7-10 days. My so my travel to and from work will go from 176 miles a week down to 32 miles a week. It could be half that but I go home over lunch every day to let my dogs out. So that mileage consists of 2 home to work and back trips each day.
Cars are meant to be driven though so I am sure by the time I have this one for 5 years it will again be over 125k miles on it like the IS-F did.
Love your Vagon! Glad you're actually driving & enjoying it... the roof box looks sweet, too.
How old is Enzo now and how much does he weigh? I'm thinking about getting the calm coat for my pup as well, just unsure of what size to order. He's 1 yr old and only weighs 46 pounds. I adopted him & he was very malnourished but luckily he is gaining his weight back rapidly! I'm hoping the calm coat will help him stay relaxed when we leave him at home alone for short periods of time because at the moment he whines when we leave and we always come home to something being chewed up.
Enzo just turned a year old. He currently weights 52lbs. The large is a tiny bit big on him but the medium did not fit. My suggestion would be to take him to Petco or Petsmart since they carry them at the store and try them on him at that weight. I expect Enzo to put on about 7-10lbs more as the vet tells us he will probably keep filling out his frame for another 6 months.

Wow he's a big boy. I will take your advice & bring him to Petsmart. I didn't know they let you try stuff on before buying, thank you! Just have to wait 2 weeks for his stitches to heal... got him neutered yesterday.
Did some work on the TSX this weekend. Maybe I should just create a thread in Car Talk cause the TSX section is dead on here and I don't visit it anyways but put the updates there instead so it doesn't get moved for the time being.
Hmmm wonder how these would look. Not my first design choice but one of the most concave wheels I have seen on the V Sedan/Wagon. They might look good. Going to have to photoshop them.
I love the rears being all concave with a lip but the fronts leave a lot to be desired. I know the wheels I really want to do just not sure I am willing to go all in and spend 5k on fully custom wheels again. Regardless of the wheel itself I want something with a gloss black lip and matte black center.
So I have been having issues lately with the front lower control arm bolt for alignment coming lose since I had the vehicle aligned about a month ago. It has happened twice already no matter how tight they torque it down. It doesn't seem like anything can break down there and this time they added lock tight to it. Thankfully it only comes lose and not apart as I had to drive it 3miles to get to place that could tighten it and then go for any alignment again. Anyone else ever had this issue before?
I posted this on the Vforum as well but no one has responded.
That's an unusual problem. I remember vaguely one other mention of this problem on the V forums. I'll have to do a search to find he pertinent thread later. I don't have any specific insight that would help other than that I agree with their use of Loctite in it, for now.
