    Unhappy Never let anyone borrow your VX!!!

    I let my Dad take my Mom to work this morning. On his way back a car swerved into his lain on the freeway, my Dad maneuvered to miss him and hit a concrete barrier. The guy that caused the accident drove off. I just finessed talking to the insurants adjuster, He was way more optimistic about finding parts then I was. I’ll post an update later ones I find out what needs to be replaced.

    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    Hope you can get it fixed soon........and not lending your baby out is good advice, but it's not always easy to follow.........Good luck!

    Sorry Kodiak. Good luck with all that. Our Florida roads are crowded with slow, retired yankee drivers, but at least we don't have the snow and ice to contend with. Glad everyone is OK, but sorry about your VX.

    Check these out, you might be able to use some insurance money to buy a parts VX once they realize that body pieces are virtually non-existent:

    Salvage VX in Missouri

    Best of luck!

    Ouch! I hope your dad is OK. I hope they can keep it from being totaled. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

    Thanks all. Ya, thankfully no one got hurt. My Dad’s having a tuff time. He hasn’t been in an accident in over 30 years and he’s acting as if he killed one of my children. I’m still waiting for some info on the condition of my baby.
