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

[Triathlete]

So , while returning from my swim workout some yahoo in a compact car decides he wants to stop real quickly in front of me. I slam on the brakes and slide right into him. He decides to take off! So, after waiting 2 hours, the police show up only to determine its not in their jurisdiction. So, another 45 minutes later a deputy shows up and takes the report! I am fine! The VX didn't fair so well. Front cladding, radiator, radiator support are the damage I could see. The Zu guys said they will call me after they tear into it. So now to see if they can fix it before Moab!
Here is how it looks (camera phone pics...)

I am having them save the damaged cladding so I can try some mods (aka massive trimming) on it!

Billy...

Truly sorry to hear of your crash...that blows.
Glad you're OK.
Your VX looks like it's crying in the pic...& who could blame it?
Gee, I wonder if the other guy was insured???

Maybe just patch the rad & support back together until after Moab? ...I think your approach angle might be slightly improved.

The VX is already in the shop being torn down...I hope the parts they need are available and they work fast! I told them I was on a time schedule. I hope to know more tomorrow. And yea, that was the fresh coolant I just changed Sunday "crying" out.

I am thinking the other guy either
a. had no insurance
b. had no lisence
c. was in the country illegally
d. had dope on board
e. was drunk
f. had warrants for his arrest
g. was scarred I was going to beat on him for slamming his brakes on in front of me!
h. any combination of the above

Billy,
Man, I'm sorry to hear that, but glad you're o.k. Hopefully, they can get her peiced up before Moab.
Peace.

I would be using option G if that happened to me. I'd prolly chase down the SOB
