Regulars at this forum probably recall my screenname. My 1985 765 was totaled yesterday as a result of a left turn incident. I was nailed my a saturn going at least 40MPH. I was turning left, and got hit in the rear two doors, the saturn caught the rear wheel and spun the car 270 degrees clockwise. I walked out, with only a briuse on my shoulder from the seat belt. The rear trailing arm was ripped from the car, along with the center support bracket and the rear half of the drive shaft. The roof buckeled, as did the floor behind the rear seats. On both sides the floor ripped. The line between the hood and fender has a large gap, the opposide doors have a large gap, and the tailgate was jammed closed. The car saved my life. Volvo for life, Im definatly a repeat buyer. Just wanted to say something. I new Volvo was a safe car, but i didnt want to find out this way. The link has the pics. I thank everyone for all the help I have gotten here, and I hope to be back shortly :)
