    Thumbs down OH NO!! I rear-ended CRNCNN's VX!!

    Never in a million years would i think that i was ever gonna hurt CRNCNN's VX!! Last saturday on our way home from a small camping trip, Clint was in the VX in front of me and I was in my jeep and next thing i know, a guy slams into the back of me going about 35 which in turn slams me into the back of the VX ......NOOOOOOO!!!! The guy was under the influence of something, he didnt have a driver license, he had a warrant out for his arrest AND he didn't even own the car AND he had his son in the car!!! THANK GOD he the car had insuracne.....Anybody see the Incredible Hulk??? That was clint's reaction when he jumped out of te car!!!


    We took both vehicles into the body shop and the VX for the most part got a clean bill of health! just a few minor tweaks and paint. My jeep however is TOAST!! the pictures do NO justice. The frame is bent and they are already up to $6300.00 so once they start tearing it down its done

    I am so sorry, but I am glad you all came out in good health. Could always be worse.

    The unibody is bent up? Yet another reason for a body on frame design! From that pic it doesn't even look like the Jeep budged. Glad you guys are alright but that is just a sign for you to get yourself a Proton!

    Glad everyone is alright. I am thinking that the moron (it's a family site) in the car that hit you got to spend a little time with some of my friends at my old job!
    Where did you take the VX for repairs? I was real happy with Royal's service. They did good work and saved all my old parts for me.



    PS......You guys going to make the trip to Moab?

    Thank God that everyone is fine.

    Doesn't hurt that the VX had little damage either...

    Yeah its pretty messed up! He hit my hitch which folded down causing the frame arms to go up and i think out. WITHOUT tearing anything apart they already estimate 6300.00 in damages I like the way you think!!! Anybody selling a proton????

    We took it for estimates to Jim Click. they said to fix the VX its about 1300.00 to fix it, but its simple fixes so i think Clint is just gonna have them cut a check!

    No moab again this year....i still dont have a secure job, the accident, and i have 2 family members graduating from High School that i cant miss I told Clint he could go!!! 2011 for SURE!!

    I'm glad you're all ok. Sorry about your jeep. Sounds like the VX just had some caricature added to it. Hopefully with the insurance money you'll be able fix the VX and do some nice mods.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.
