    hmm, thanks for the info KAT.. I was keeping my fingers crossed he was going to be the real deal.. I've seen a few scammer's lately, and I wasn't sure how to look on here to find a member based on the last 4.. anyway.. sweet deal.. Im glad! My boss talked to Jack today.. my boss handed me all the info on Jack's proton and said it was up to me if I wanted it.. by the time I hemmed & hawed.. it was too late tonight to call Jake back.. so tomorrow we'll see.. I'd be bummed about the yellow skid plate, I love it.
    driving anything other than my Proton makes me want to puke

    I wish you good luck with Osteomata's proton! I didn't know that's who that guy was, but I've read tons of his posts and such and he's definitely given me good input. If it doesn't work out with him or her decides not to sell, let me know! my proton is in top shape!

    Thanks Riff.. I looked on the member's map.. it shows two people that have done two posts in their entire history.. and that was last year.. idk who I'd trust to do hands on, unless it was my mechanic.. lol. I dont think my boss would send him to Miami for the day.. lol.. Im not that close in location.. I don't know why I assumed buying my 2nd VX would prove to be difficult.. as difficult as finding parts for my squished one.. I suppose I could be more patient and just fix mine. ugh.. my motto "is it done yet?"
    Working for a car dealership has it's perks.. it's not like Im walking.. but it's not my vx and Im mid temper tantrum about not having driven her in 3 weeks.. 8 more weeks on a bumper cover might kill me.. I get it though. It's not like all VX's are going to be as sweet of a deal as I got on mine... but it would be nice.. shame sellers can't tell 100% on what might possibly be wrong for fear of it not selling.. Id rather know what I need to fix.. they really are my love (shh, dont tell my husband & kids)..

    I'm really on the fence here. I really want you to buy Osteomata's VX, but on the other hand I also want you to fix your original VX. I would hate to see a perfectly good VX parted out. It's just a minor fender bender. Osteomata's VX should go to a good home... a member! But, do you really want two VXs? Can you handle that much excitement! Would you fix up your original VX and sell it? Or does it have sentimental value and you would sell Osteomata's VX? So many questions...so little time.

    LOL.. I hear ya Cobra! time actually is not of essence but my patience level is at it's peak.. I can always handle two VX's.. I think with the $$ Geico gave me, I can fix mine, and buy another one at auction that's wrecked in the same spot, and fix that one and sell it.. lol.. or keep it.. we wrapped up a total restore on a 68 camaro about a month ago.. sold that puppy much to my argument. I would love to do a restore on a cheaper separate VX.. more so than anything, I want mine out on the road burning rubber.. eating the road for breakfast. Spoke my boss this am, and we're moving ahead on fixing mine.. I just can't part with it.. she's been so good to me.. osteomata's would be sweet, considering the miles on it.. but ultimately it's better for me to fix mine, and possibly buy another with the chunk of change from insurance.. I had a fantastic adjuster that pushed it right up to the limit on "total loss" without totaling it out.. paid me almost to the dollar what I paid for the VX to begin with.. because according to Geico, they "valued" mine at 8700.. I paid 5800 for it.

    OK, sorry we couldn't work something out. I wish you the best of luck with your rebuild. Looks like I will be redoing my CL ad this weekend, heh. Gotta get off my lazy bum and replace the shocks with the new Rancho's sitting in the backseat as well.
