Great news, in the crash the guys radiator got damaged and was leaking and on his 2 hour drive home his engine overheated and seized. Yeah there was a lot of damage done to his truck. The svx will be fixed no matter what, there is no structural damage, its all body work. So i actually kind of lucked out, i'm now getting a new paint job.

I wish I had a new paint job ):

My bumper was already damaged when I got rear ended so I kinda lucked out as well and they painted the rear half. :/

To make it better in the last 2 months i've put in a new windshield, suspension, air conditioning, and tires.

More importantly are YOU ok. my legacy got slammed at a red light at 50mph last july 1. My first back surgery was january the second a month later, all from that accident (and i have another year of recovery b4 i get my life back). The herniated disc did not show up till 6 weeks later.
Have yourself checked out, even if you feel fine. And i am sorry about the car.

Um, this might not be the best time to mention this, but I've never gotten to be first before..

Your wheels are on backwards.

WOW!!! You really took a hit!

I'm amazed that 1. You're ok and 2. What a flippin' TANK the SVX is. Good God man, do you understand the physics? Gettin' whacked by that much mass moving anywhere near that fast could easily have been deadly! It's incredible what little damage was done. Most cars would have been destroyed.
Trevor's advice was right on, stay pissed but cool, but GO GIT 'EM!
The main thing is you're OK. I can't get over your lack of injury. Very fortunate you were in your Safety Vehicle eXperimental. I'm v. glad you're OK and your SVX will live on.
Please keep us posted.

Talking My kitten can woop your kitten

When does your kitten stop trying to have sex with the floor to have time for my kitten to whoop his ass?
By the way...my kitten weighs 22 lbs and is polydactal! I'm afraid he'd make a snack of your kitten. Bobcat's are funny that way...

Well, I'm too all familiar with what happened to you, since the same thing happened to me about a month ago...
Radiator busted on the Grand Cherokee that hit me too.

Good luck with fixing your SVX, mine should me done in a couple weeks.
