First, I'd like to thank all the members who have e-mailed or posted their their prayers and kind words.
To put it briefly my VX doesn't have ONE straight body panel on it and has been declared a TOTAL LOSS. I was quite depressed by this as I had paid for it in full at the time of purchase and it only had 6700 miles on it.
VXMAN- I hope my insurance doesn't go that high, as I've had an exemplary driving record for over five years.
Analog- It's in Bartlett. I haven't turned the title over yet or removed any of my add-ons (which were minimal), or decided on the insurance company's offer to allow me to buy it back, which would mean storing it somewhere until next spring. I'll post additional info. when it becomes available. Possible good parts may include:
Drivetrain- although I'm not sure how long the vehicle continued to run after it went inverted, which is how it came to rest.
Suspension- ???
3 wheels- dealer replaced at the end of September. Unsure if they're still "true".
Some interior- the pass. side "A" and drivers side "C" pillars were crushed a bit.
Surprizingly, I think the replacement headlights may have survived. Possibly due to the GTS clear covers I had on them?
Sugino- I will definately be trying to contact you with 100 questions. Thanks for the invitation.
Sveltax- Yes, I can feel the love and concern "vibes" and it has helped.
Nocturnal and Raque- thank you for the prompt responses. Raque, hope I get another chance to meet up in the future.
Anita- I had my longing eye on that one for the last few times it had been listed, but didn't have a need for it at the time.
Could it have been destiny? (half-hearted joke)
I'll post pics [and the the investigating officers assesment, (as i received a good blow to the head and have little recall of the event)] when their developed.
As for me, about 35 stitches near my left eye, 4 staples in scalp and some bone bruises and aches and pains.
I will get back on the horse that threw me.
To all the other recent recipients of unfortunate mishaps: my love and prayers go out to you and your families, and to your VX's as well.
Totalled VX- apprx. $20k
E.R. bill -$8k
Surviving the wreck and my VX compadres.... Priceless
Again, thanks and God bless all my fellow VX'ers- and "let's be careful out there"
