I think I got it now. Its all bringing up old wounds. I need a lot of time... Cuz they say time heals it. Then it will all be better. Doesn't make it easier now. But there is a pinprick of light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks atilla. I think it was what you said. I still feel the way I do, but I know why now, and that helps. Perhaps it will begin to get better now. Gosh I hope so.

Its great news that you are in good (enough) health, and I would stay happy about that if I were you. Thats really the important thing. If you were really badly injured that could cost a lot more than a car and last a lot longer.
The car can be replaced in time. Honestly? My opinion is to get what money you can out of it, and buy a cheap daily driver (like an old civic or corolla), that you can drive for the next year or so, with only doing oil changes. Then save up some money while you have the cheap car, to get another VX.

I'm with you on the being upset part. If I lost either of my cars I'd be a wreck, especially seeing as how both cars I own are no longer produced. Hang in there. You will make it through this and you will get another dream car, whether it be another VX or something else. I agree with one previous poster. Try to sell it complete and see what happens. I'm sure there is still some value in it. The only thing that would scare me away from fixing it up is frame damage.

Today is the first day I have felt even remotely better. The pinprick of light is getting bigger?
Super VXer
not to sound callous...but, i cant believe you could afford it before the wreck on less than $700 a month

My mom was in really good financial shape a few years ago when we got it.Originally Posted by VXjunky

I think he was talking more about the bad mileage and insurance compared to someone a little more economical like an old Honda or whatever.
Super VXer
OH. I see. Well, I didn't need to do too much driving and got low insurance rates by sharing insurance and also by not getting full coverage and stuff. I do admit it was hard though to pay for gas and I sometimes wound up not getting to drive for half of the month.

not to mention upkeep....for example...here in california....a State approved new Catalytic Converter...is 1300 bucks before install...ect$$$$ ect$$$$ ect$$$$

Sorry for a little T-J....
But that's the kind of thing that makes -30 deg F days, a LOT more bearable...
Tex...I'm REAL glad to see y'all "pick'n yer feathers up out tha dust"...
Hang in there, there's another VX in your future, but...
As TP sez...

Yeah thanks, Ldub and everyone. I'm so much better now. I dunno how. Gosh the other day it seemed like I never would be. I'm kinda weird though about not foreseeing how much the future can bring betterness. I will still be bummed every time I don't get a ride. But perhaps things will improve now that my spirits have been lifted from the dirt.
We don't have to get that catalytic converter thing here. And I guess I have been lucky till the wreck too, VXjunky. But I do have my BF's income for back up. (Amd mom's) They do seem to give blind folks a bit more disability income than for my condition. Dunno how it all works. Course his is SS plus disability mine is SSI only. Mostly we keep our incomes separate since we aint married, but he's been a good guy a lot and backed me up when I was in need. (We have been together 13 years and lived together bout half that.) He even got my VX tuned up for me in January so I should maybe even love him even more, huh? lol. See how I'm talkin'... I AM better, I can tell. Its gonna be ok someday. And I am glad I can feel that now.
I thank everyone SO VERY MUCH for all the supportive words during my down time. Gosh it was hard. Still is some, but I can handle it now. I should have hung out here more often so you all could know what an awesome person I am when not in a situation like this. LOL.
I'm gonna look for a part time job that I can do with my issues and that should help some too. I'm gonna sell a lot of THINGS that I don't need as much as I used to think I did. And my Mom wants to give me money that she can now, because she is afraid her current husband has made it so only his kids get an inheritance. I love my mom and owe her dearly. Dontcha think?I mean a VX for my birthday that year... How freakin' awesome is that?! I never loved a car like a VX and dont think I ever will. But somehow someway I'm gonna make it alright but not right now, I know we're all wondering how. (Just a little edit from the song that was from)
I'm better.
Isn't that awesome?

I wish I was sober enough to "get" that joke.
BTW feeling good enough to drink is a good sign tho.
Super VXer
As opposed to feeling bad enough to need a drink...
