Rear Ended! VX is a TANK!

[Vfrider1]

Baby is all fixed up!

I got the VX back from the shop yesterday and it looks perfect once again. The shop had to wait a week for the new rear cladding to come in, but I expected that. The insurance company had priced the cladding as refurbished. My shop told them on the spot that the refurbished parts would not match. As it turns out there were no refurbished rear claddings to be had so a new one was ordered. I would not have accepted a refurbished part from the insurance company even if they could have found one. The exhaust pipe also had to be replaced as well. I had forgotten how nice the chrome tip looks, I will be sure to keep this one polished and looking new...Total cost for the repairs was $841 and 1 day without my ride...

Same thing happened to me on 2-22. Dingbat in a big, 3 row seat GMC SUV (probably on her phone) @ 40+MPH at 6 o'clock low. I was at a standstill at a red light.
RESULT:
ME:A nice 2" punch through & scratches, broken exhaust impacted through the muffler... that's it!
HER: That big GMC Grille was caved in, Bumper scratched badly from my hitch no airbags deployed.

I'm trying to source parts and fix myself as soon as I am cleared by my doctor. I have whiplash and concussion.
OOH-RAH!
