    The unibody is bent up? Yet another reason for a body on frame design! From that pic it doesn't even look like the Jeep budged. Glad you guys are alright but that is just a sign for you to get yourself a Proton!

    Glad everyone is alright. I am thinking that the moron (it's a family site) in the car that hit you got to spend a little time with some of my friends at my old job!
    Where did you take the VX for repairs? I was real happy with Royal's service. They did good work and saved all my old parts for me.



    PS......You guys going to make the trip to Moab?

    Thank God that everyone is fine.

    Doesn't hurt that the VX had little damage either...

    We took it for estimates to Jim Click. they said to fix the VX its about 1300.00 to fix it, but its simple fixes so i think Clint is just gonna have them cut a check!

    No moab again this year....i still dont have a secure job, the accident, and i have 2 family members graduating from High School that i cant miss I told Clint he could go!!! 2011 for SURE!!

    Yeah its pretty messed up! He hit my hitch which folded down causing the frame arms to go up and i think out. WITHOUT tearing anything apart they already estimate 6300.00 in damages I like the way you think!!! Anybody selling a proton????

    I'm glad you're all ok. Sorry about your jeep. Sounds like the VX just had some caricature added to it. Hopefully with the insurance money you'll be able fix the VX and do some nice mods.
    Cars designed by spreadsheets make sense. Cars designed by engineers make history.

    If the rear cladding is messed up and you guys want to fix it, I may or may not be getting rid of mine as part of the wheelbase extension project. Just throwing that out there.

    Thank you all for the well wishes! We are very thankful!!! I got the official call today, they deemed my Cherokee as a total loss! They are going to pay it off and I might get a 3 or 4 hundred dollar check back. The vx has a few grill marks in the cladding not too bad. Nothing a little bumper paint can't fix! :-). The rear door is bent in a little at the bottom but should pull out just fine! 2 knobs in the inside of the door broke off so he will need those but all and all it's in good shape!! Thanks again for all the well wishes!!! Moab 2011!!!!!!
