My first accident ever....and it was in the VX : (

[Todd Adams]

State laws vary a little on this but in most states, the above statement is correct. I used to be an insurance adjuster....but I'm feeling much better now!

Linda ran into a kid a couple of years ago. He had a warrant out and wanted to leave before UHP got there. She had called me and I showed up to pull the bumper away from the tire so it didn't have to be towed. I talked the kid into sticking around. After Linda got her ticket the officer let her go but kept the kid. A month later we got a letter from the state asking if we wanted to collect damages from the kid. In Utah if you don't have insurance and you are hit you are responsible. Go figure. We decided since everything had been taken care of we did not to follow through, Hard to get blood out of a turnip. And he was not allowed to collect from our insurance even though Linda was at fault. It is a felony to leave an accident here. I don’t know about ARZ.

man i sorry to hear about this bro, at least your ok, and hope your VX will re back in shape in no time. i have to say, that one of my fears and no joking, is getting an accendent with my VX or totaling it.

[WormGod]

Late seeing this. Dude.... do me a favor and back off! "I" am the only one allowed to wreck up VXs, hahaha.

Good luck on the speedy VX recovery.

Wow Billy! I am so sorry. I hope I don't ever find out what I would do in this situation... because it would probably not be good... I am glad to hear you are alright at least physically. And we are all here for the emotional part.

Well the news today does not look good for Moab. $5700 worth of damage. New radiator, condensor, grill (tabs broken), front cladding, new front skid plate (for some reason mine was bent ) and a few other do-dads. Estimated date of return....2-20-08 The shop guys are aware of my trip and are going to do their best to move that up. They are going to call me again and let me know about the availability of the parts. If they can get them quicker it will speed things up. They assured me that he has his "best man" on the job to help speed things up and because he knows how rare the VX is! Hopefully I will know by the end of the week a better time frame.

Ooops....typo! Just turn that 2 over and make it a 5


The shop boss is also saving me all the big "damaged" part...skid, cladding, grill!

Billy,
That's a lot of damage. I hope they can work a miracle for you. I'd hate to see you miss ZuZu again.
Peace.

[VehiGAZ]

Just get a rental, drive out to Moab, and ride shotgun with all of us!!! You could play musical VX's when we come up to obstacles and ride in more VX's in one week than you ever thought possible!!! What do ya say???

[Triathlete]

Won't be making the trip without the VX...don't think I could stay sane not driving.
The good news that will come from this is the next accident will be much better protected. The money saved will go towards some new armor in the form of front and rear rock bumpers and rock sliders. I will be contacting the guys at Stric9 and seeing what we can come up with. I will make sure that they make templates of the bumpers in case anyone else is interested (be aware they will require a LOT of front cladding trimming).

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

Just heard about your misfortune...That Sucks! Hope they are wrong and you get your wheels back in time for Moab.
Was looking forward to seeing you pulverize the rocks ahead of me so I could tread lightly & count on your spotting skills!
