okay...I'm going to fess up here and admit something I've almost totally forgot about....

about 1 month after owning my VX and before using VanEyes, I decided to take her to work to show my co-workers and I was on steady night-turn...must have been sleep-deprived....just managed to back into a middle-sized tree that is adjacent to the end of my driveway...was in low range and "bumped" into the tree resulting in a cracked driver-side brake light and a "dinged" plastic rear bumper on driverside.

After removing the rear bumper cladding...I saw no damage behind plastic bumper....so "I" replaced brake light and rear bumper cladding....been good as new since! The bumper was reasonable but "ouch" the brake light assembly was 'spensive!
