    Bummer. It's kind of surprising that your VX was totalled having only the limited damage it appeared to have in the pictures, but with the book values falling so drastically over the last few years, and shop labor rates being so high, I'd imagine it was probably the man-hours and paint work that did it.

    I suppose that's what makes VX repairs fall into the category of labors of love, and points out at least ONE of the problems of insurance companies...no imagination.

    Unhappy

    Sorry again about the total loss and losing your baby. We appreciate if you did tell us where it is ending up for some of us to possibly "resurrect" her.

    I know here in Texas when mine was totaled they told me that the only person that could buy it back was the owner, if not, than it went to auction where you had to be a dealer to bid on it. General public can not get the same deal.
    Ask forgiveness, not permission.

    Ok so Ashley... here's the plan...find out if you can buy it salvage or whatever they call it... how much... let the forum know and maybe someone here can front the money and you just sign it over to them... (us? a group buy/project maybe?) I have several hundred $$ I could help front... we fix it up with a part here a part there.... vxcrazy gets paid for some of her parts... all fixed up... we sell it to a worthy owner... for a small profit... pay back the front $$ people... donate the profit to the forum or start a fund for offsetting costs for MOAB or mini meets... or whatever else funky stuff we can come up with. BRILLIANT!!!!
