OT, Hit by my car........or euro cages R tuff

[paul p (chi-town)]

i gotta 99 volvo v70xc (cross country awd turbo)

C’mon Winfred, you of all people should know better.
I’ts a BF23Turbonium or nothin. *grin*
I really became fond of that beast.
Besides i still owe ya for the help on ‘Rolf’
Now that i got the metal outer balls and rear shocks w/ M mounts & such, he’s one sweet driving car.

Tell ya what, keep an eye out for an LSD rear for ‘Rolf’.
And a rear wiper arm for ‘Helga’........................and manual conversion parts.

Did i just say that? *bad Pablo*

oh well then, your ****ed

[paul p (chi-town)]

OK, here’s the car.
Doesn’t look that bad.





The body isn’t pushed in that much but the axle took alot of the blow. Note the 15° toe out.
Since intersection is at an angle, bout 60°, you could add some of my speed too.
The hit was pretty hard considering only ~30% of it was in the right direction and did this. That explains t-bone=airbag.



This looks like a little ripple in the roof. Just left of the black gutter trim break.



Reminds me of some old Volvos i saw in a rally crash compilation.
These things ARE tanks.

Whoa, the airbags went off in that situation?? Definitely would have been better off without them. Oh well, at least you came out alright. Now it's time for an 850R!

Well.......only cause i was wearing my seatbelt. This was 1/3 head on, momentum would have pushed me into the left side of the wheel if not. Which is why i always wear it and will be defusing the bomb in the Nissan.
Also planning on getting g-locks all around.

Now it's time for an 850R!

Eh, see my previous convo with Winfred. If i get another Volvo it's gonna be another old school RWD blown to the teens BRICK.
Post 850s are junk, fast as snot, but still junk.

Good to see you're ok, hope that glass on the table has a little something extra for the pain...

Thanks Tim.

Got that right on the glass, but it only helped so much.
