Is This the End?

[vt_maverick]

Thanks for all the well wishes guys, I definitely woke up a lot more sore this morning than yesterday. But that could be because I stood outside in the rain for 3 hours watching my beloved Hokies fall on their face on national TV. The perfect ending to a perfect weekend. :facepalm:

There is something I could use help with - does anyone still have an active AutoCheck account? I have a VIN I want to run...

Find another Foxfire?

Now where would the fun be in that H3?

Ash, sorry to read about this. Glad to hear you and all the family are alright. I know the feeling about the car when I had the wreck with my MR2, loved it but it did its job and left me just sore and it totaled.

[Impi]

Wow, I am stunned................

First of all, Amen to the fact you are all okay. You are truly blessed.
Your account of the whole episode kept me riveted to my pc screen. I could picture the whole event taking place as you described it.
My thoughts are with you. Those are some heart breaking pics man

I hope all works out for you moving forward.

I hate threads like this, but I am glad you guys are all ok. The VX, like you said, is just a car and that's not important, but know that there are still others out there to be had if you want to get back in one. Again tho, the good thing is you are all ok.

GOSH! That's a rough looking wreck there. Worse impact and damage than was done to mine last month in the bouncing rollover caused by me not maintaining control after a blowout at 60 mph. I am so glad you are all ok though. It seems that the VX is good at keeping folks alive in most crash situations. That's one reason why I'm so stuck on this vehicle myself. Best of luck to you in dealing with the tough parts of the situation. I had a terribly rough go of it the first week after my crash and I truly feel for ya.

[TexVeX]

I'm right here with ya. Suffering with ya too. Some days I am fine and some days I am guilty of still pining over my loss. I have no vehicle now. And the situation I am in makes it tough to get another. But I have to dream big or I'll just stay down in the dumps. I'll be rooting for you as much as I am for me to get the perfect replacement VX.

I'm so very sorry to read this, Ash, it made me sad to read it and I started to get emotional reading the story knowing your daughter was in the car. What a vehicle, and what a owner to not hold a crudge for the egregious act. The VX was the exact vehicle you needed at that exact time. For that reason, I am so very happy for you and yours. Take care, take some time off, then look for another VX when you're ready, and know it will be one of the safest choices you can make within reason. Take care, Ash. 'Bren.

This is just awful news. I'm so glad you guys are OK. Just think about what's really important in life.

I'm glad everyone is OK.

That just Sux.

As far as recovering make sure you get all of the information on the other "driver". Considering the information so far it's entirely likely the other "driver" is judgment proof and uninsured. The Owner of the vehicle may try to claim they aren't responsible because they didn't authorize the "driver". Even your insurance company my try to limit their liability. You might want to get a lawyer or public adjuster involved, to protect you. You might be able to get some kind of settlement over pure property damage, if there is insurance. The fact that the "driver" had no ID is ominous.

Wow Ash, this was tough to read. At least we'll be able to properly set up your hitch on the new beast

Best wishes & prayers from our family to yours.

Glad you guys made it through that safe and sound!

First off, glad you and family are ok. Not so much about the VX.

Having gone through something VERY similar, you might be looking at a battle depending on how you and ins approaches it. Whoever the car belongs to can EASILY (and sounds like they already have) say the driver did not have permission to drive it. This will relieve the registered owner of fault, thus rendering their insurance untouchable. There are avenues to try to go after the driver, but chances are slim since his insurance can pull the we insure "THIS" car, not the one he was in.

I went through that for 3 years here after my accident, though matters were a bit more difficult since the drunk driver in the vehicle that hit me was DOA. In the end, I ended up taking the claim from my own insurance (State Farm). Sucked, but I also was not penalized for it.

Best of luck to ya.
