    I just talked to the shop.

    Believe it or not, it appears that the only damaged components are:

    Steering knuckle

    Sector shaft on steering box

    Of course, they may find more when they try to do an alignment. Suprise, suprise ... the only problem they are currently having is locating the parts (not to worry though - we'll help them with that)

    BTW, sorry 'bout the seperate quotes above. I was only planning on using 1 but then I kinda got on a roll.

    BBTW, heading to Best Buy shortly to see if they can get the pix copied over to an SD card or sump'n.

    Holy Cow Tom-man...

    Great driving there...even more spectacular than you described it.

    Really glad no one was hurt and the VX seems to have only minor issues.

    Tom, you where right. If them big 'ol tires hadn't been there you would probably be looking at some sheet metal damage.

    Way to drive!
