    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.

    Billy, glad your alright, and sorry about the accident. You know nothing is quick when it comes to getting replacement parts. I would tell them you will drop it off AFTER they get the parts they need. I bet its a good 4 wks at least just to find everything you need, take it to Moab and get it fixed afterward.....
    Ask forgiveness, not permission.

    Unfortunately the radiator is not up to the trip! Fingers are crossed. Will find out more tomorrow. Then I will weigh the options.

    Man, I am completely sorry, but hey if you don't get it fixed in time just fly to Houston and take my VX to Moab and I will meet you there..... lol. Seriously though I am glad you are ok, and I am sure your VX will be better than ever in no time. Let me know if you need any cladding screws.

    It does look like it's crying. Another possibility is that he took off because being rear ended by something alien and outer-space-like freaked him out.

    feel your pain

    Hey there! I kinda know what you are going through. i had a small front end collision with a kid in a pick-up truck. (i posted about this about a year ago) and was very worried about the time it would take to procure parts and replace them. i had my VX back in 6 days. they replaced the hood and front cladding along wih some other parts that you don't really see on the surface.

    I actually think you are lucky that the other guy drove away. You may have been held liable and the cause of the accident because you didn't allow for stopping distance behind the vehicle. The other guy driving away surely had something to hide though.

    Glad to hear you are well though, and with luck, you will be out there in MOAB with your VX.
