First and foremost, I am so glad that you are physically OK! As others have said, you WILL get your VX fixed, but you may not have been as lucky had some of YOUR "parts" gotten crumpled. But now, on to the VX-lover part of me: after reading that you totalled one two years ago and crumpled one yesterday, I couldn't help but cheer a little inside that the VX seems to be a "safe" vehicle. I mean, if you totalled your first one and lived to talk about it, can we assume the safety features and design of the vehicle are such that it protects it's occupants as best it can? And again last night, you did a bit of damage to the VX, but are here talking about it the next day, so all in all, if you have to be unfortunate enough to have an accident, is the VX the vehicle to do it in? I've never been able to find much info or research on the "safety ratings" of a VX, but your post sounds like a good testimonial to me. Some people have asked me what the "safety rating" on my new vehicle is, and I'm always embarrassed to have to tell them that I honestly don't know. Maybe I'll (with your permission) use your story as living proof that they seem to protect the driver fairly well!
I'm feeling very sad for you today in how you must feel about seeing your baby crumpled. I have NEVER felt this way about a vehicle before, but last night when my husband and I were driving it through some really congested traffic areas (he was driving) I was a nervous wreck in that someone would ding, scratch, or dent my baby! I have never felt that protective and worried about a vehicle before - it was really odd! For the first time I wasn't worried about the human safety in that lousy traffic mess, I was worried about somone hurting my VX! And when we got home, I wiped down the interior real quick to make sure there weren't any smudges or fingerprints from the fries hubby had eaten while driving! Help me - I've become a fanatic about a vehicle!!!!!
