    When I arrived at my Mom's, I nearly sunk to my knees in snow, just getting out of the VX.
    She hadn't been out of her house in weeks... the cupboards were bare!
    Anyway, I am extreamly sad your Dragon was hurt.
    I hope you find a master Doctor, to get your loved one back healthy again.

    I'm crying for you....

    rowhard,
    Man, I'm sorry to hear about your VX. Like 4x4 UFO said, hopefully insurance can get you back to where you were without too much of a hassle.
    Peace.

    Put all of the above together, & add "I'm sorry for your loss" ,& you have my sentiments on the subject...

    Hope you're able to make her straight again...

    wow, that is a serious bummer :frownp: I sure hope those dents are pullable, sure glad to see it didn't pop any glass. That has got to be one of the worst things to come out and see (besides seeing nothing there at all).

    Got the guess-ta-mate today, 5200 bucks so should be okay for repairing and not totalling, but if they do, will keep it, fix it myself and buy another one, either foxfire or proton.

    Hasn't been a great holiday period. Have been suspended from work for 5 days without pay. We have been chained up with the snow and all on the buses and restricted to 25mph. They changed a snow route detour on 12/23/08 which was using the right hand lane of I-5 south, to U.S.101 and taking the first exit which was maybe 3/4 of a mile up 101. They wanted me to take a different route, get on I-5 North, U.S. 101 exit then cross 3 lanes of traffic at 25mph with traffic traveling up to 60 mph to take the same exit. I refused on the grounds of safety and was relieved, put on admin leave for a week then they handed down the sentence today. The Union is fighting it and it will go to arbitration.

    To error is human, but to forgive is not Intercity Transit policy, or put another way, the difference between Intercity Transit and the Boy Scouts is the boy scouts have adult supervision.

    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    That's a hard rub...especially when doing the right thing is considered an "error"...

    It's an unfortunate truth, that common sense is getting less & less common...

    Chin up mate...hopefully you're getting the worst of 09 behind you & now comes the good stuff!

    Man... I hope that all the bad is behind you, and that the rest of '09 is good to you. I also hope that this run of VX damage is over, and that all our babies (and members too!) stay out of harm's way. Good luck getting the repairs taken care of.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.
