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

[VX crazy]

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.....

[Triathlete]

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

[LittleBeast]

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.

[navistar]

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.

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.

[Triathlete]

Thats what I want to hear Mr. Badguy! And yea, since the guy left the scene I wasn't sighted...that and the fact that I knew all the responding officers

[Dumke]

Man That blows but glad your ok and hopefully will be fixed soon and will be in moab no sweat..

[Pepino]

oh hells no! if that would have been me i would have kicked some you know what! omg when someone scratched my door i was ready to kill someone! i feel really bad for you basically crashing my VX is one of the worst things that could happen! if it was the other guy's fault i would have run after them and beat him up lol

[Triathlete]

Well I hit him so sort of my fault...even if he did slam his breaks on! Would have chased but the legs were tired from the 12 mile run and swim workout I had just finished (thats where I was coming from).

[pbkid]

wow thats really too bad billy....you could be cool like me and sport the VX a little dinged up....thats what i do because i dont have time or money for fixing the damages....

well the good news is that because your lifted you only hit your cladding and radiator and not like...hood, headlight, fender, cladding, bumper (thats what i got from a yukon in a parking lot).....
cant wait to see ya in moab

[Solitude]

Sorry to hear about your acK! adent Billy.. will keep my fingers crossed for ya

Too late for that - his pics of the VX immediately after the accident have been posted in a public forum. But you really did luck out that the guy took off, Tri.

Everyone please take note - the one who does the rear-ending is at fault, regardless of the actions of the guy who got rear-ended. From the perspective of the law (and insurance), if you hit someone from behind, you were following too close by definition (meaning that since you hit the guy in front of you, you clearly were following too close or not driving safely enough to avoid him and whatever antics he pulls).

Tri, I'm not trying to bust your stones for getting into this accident - I'm VERY happy for you that it worked out for you and your VX!!

Instead, consider this is a public service announcement. I've heard soooo many people over the years complain of getting cited for being at fault in this situation. Everyone who drives should know how the law and insurance companies view the situation.

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.
