I haven't decided what to do yet. I'd like to keep for parts or projects, but space is an issue -- I have a two car garage filled with kid bikes, sports equip on one side and a mostly rehabbed '78 911 on the other. Our drivers sit outside with the '73 450 sl. I would prefer that the VX stays in the "community" rather than rust in a junkyard or go to the crusher.
I don't know why they totaled it either. The guy at the shop made a more than valiant effort -- when he couldn't get factory parts he found used. He said he was able to find everything needed, but the repair went over 75% of the value, thus, totaled.
I'll do more research tomorrow and get back to you. Meanwhile, my rental disappears Monday. The Anti-VX. The evil opposite of the VX. Big, white, cushy, ability to see what's behind you without a camera, still in production... You know, all the things we hate...
