Is This the End?

If that person was intoxicated, they had better have the insurance to buy you a new vx. I can't stand drunk drivers.

First off, I was glad to read that you and your family (inlcuding Dakota) are okay! The VX once again proves itself on a collision.

It was sad reading your posts as I know how much time you put into your VX, just to have it all go away in a flash. I've been there with my Torino. I saved everything worth saving and transplanted it to a new Torino body, but it was never the same. My suggestion...go Dragon! Close the Foxfire chapter and start a new one.

Ash,
I'm just glad you and your daughter are still around and ok. I've dealt with tragedy in this form since I was of the single digit age and I know and have seen what could have happened... I'll pray for your continued safety and hope everything works out for you..

Its great that you're looking into the positives of an accident you had no control over. Your family walked away & thats most important... and now you can have fun looking for a replacement to your beloved VX.

Awwwww DUDE...

That hurts to look at.

Glad that you & yours fared well, you're handling this in an admirable manner...

I'm afraid FAR better than I could manage.

Sincere condolences for your loss, but better a VX RIP than a person or pet.

Keep us posted of any needs or help that the fam can provide.

Glad you guys are ok! Let me know if you need anything, depending what I have left from my wrecked vx........

**VXjunky** · 10/02/2011, 08:12 AM

Sooooooooooooooooooo...sorry

**atilla_the_fun** · 10/02/2011, 08:24 AM

vt_maverick! I'm sorry this happened to you and your family! Those dark roads can really be killer. Take solace in the fact that 1) you will be paid off at NADA value or the cost of replacing the vehicle with another VX within driving distance (from a dealer) 2) There are a few foxfires for sale on the east coast. When it is all said and done, it may be best to buy the car back from the insurance for spares if you feel you can salvage most of it for your next VX? Not all insurance companies are blind to mods, you just need to present them with a packet of receipts for everything, and maybe even similar mileage and wear VXs on craigslist and auto-trader.

How did your passenger tire survive when it looks like your passenger headlamp was vaporized?

Wow Ashley what a terrible experience for you and your entire family.

That God you are all safe and sound.

Keep your head up man...good things will come your way.

If you need anything I'm just a PM away.

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?

The force of the impact sheared part of the steering linkage in half (I think it was the tie rod) so the passenger front tire turned outward, saving the tire and wheel from being punctured and bent as they would have been if they had remained pointed forward.

Very lucky, but I do have two spare Borbets tucked away in the garage for a rainy day (night) anyway.

**rowhard** · 10/02/2011, 09:46 AM

Glad you, your daughter, and dog are okay. Know how much you loved your VX.

**yellowgizmo99** · 10/02/2011, 10:04 AM

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.
