    Unhappy don't hate me



    i didn't mean to do it... i was pulling a u turn when i thought i saw a car coming towards me from outta nowhere so i hit the gas and ended up on top of a blue cylindrical box with a fire hydrant in it... the four wheel drive in these baby's is trippy :'(

    I think the blue cylindrical box won the fight. So i'm guessing your VX turned wider than you where anticipating?

    Man...that's a drag...

    Hope you're OK, that should repair fairly easily/quickly, as long as parts are plentiful.(I hope)

    I feel your pain, for me it was a tree...

    Dude, sorry to see this happen to you.

    The VX can be fixed. That's good. It seems like you're o.k. That's even better.

    Peace.

    Oh man, those pix are hard to look at. Glad you're OK.

    In the second pic, it looks like the front wheels are pointed in opposite directions. Hope it was just the center link that broke. Good luck on the repairs & keep us posted.

    BTW - we won't hate unless the VX gets scrapped.

    We don't hate here... I'm just glad that you didn't post that you were hurt in anyway (Outside of your baby). I hope that wasn't an omission. Your safety is paramount. Time will heal.

    On the flip side; it looks like the under carriage got a nice wash down. (just trying to find the positive)

    Glad you're OK, and I'm sure your baby will be back up and running in no time.

    I am silver lining kind of guy as well, might as well get HD tie rods if it tore those up too. If you had a skid plate...hint hint, you probably would have been fine LOL. One more reason to get a Kilby plate.

    Glad you are ok.

    the plot thickens

    ahh yes.. i'm fine.. that's all the good news i have...
    i've tried to repost here 3 times now but it won't work on my iphone.. stupid thing
    so my vx is in the shop... i Think the adjuster looked at it because i don't think the mechanic can touch it till they see it and the parts are already removed from the front... i'll find out later today
    news is worse now though... three days after my accident my sister decides to rear end a brand new tacoma on her way home... the Ram is in my name, under my insurance and she isn't on the policy. she's fine and insurance called me to see if i gave her permission to drive it... i said yes of course
    so it looks like a total loss and according to my buddy the insurance adjuster wants to call the bee a loss..... NOOOOOO!!!!!
    i hate this week
