Wow, thanks for the responses it does mean a lot to me. Lets see if i can answer all the quiestions. I did go to the ER that afternoon and had my self checked out for insurance reasons, and personal knowledge, I was fine and i got out of the car once I had calmed down and walked to the curb. If I had passangers depending on how they were sitting injuries could have been worse than better. The passanger seat is a little closer to the drivers and the door is wedged against it. If someone was leaning on the door, they would have gotten hurt, but walked out. The back seat would have been worse, the corner of the seat is squished and its possible someone, depending how they were sitting, may have hurt their legs, possibly broken, and worse case scenerio bruised or broken a rib maybe. It all depends on how they were sitting. But everyone would have gotten out under their own power. My insurance is questionalbe, I have liability only because the car is only valued at 2 grand it wasnt work paying for collision, and now its in my driveway and the insurance company cant take it, so i can do as i wish with the car. It was both of our faults, probably more his. I didnt see where he came from and I know he crossed when the light was yellow, as I did, it may have been already red for him. Unfortunatly here in Los angeles Oncoming traffic has the right of way, so Im automatically at fault, one exception to the rule, a traffic light incident, which this is. So i have to see how the insurance company deals with it. I will be taking more pics of the inside and underneath, so everyone can see exactly what happened. The car was pretty much bent into a U. The trailing arm was ripped from the body, the center support bracket was ripped out along with the driveshaft, the roof buckeled, the floor behind the rear seats buckeled and ripped, the opposite side doors still close nice, but have a large gap now, i had to kick the tailgate open to get my stereo stuff out. It did what it was supposed to in a major accident, and I doubt I will ever own anything but now. "Volvo for life" I loved my car, but im alive and not injured. Thats all that matters. Ive already sold the front clip me thinks, the front seats are spoken for. The rear seats were near perfect tan leather, so those may be up for sale. When the insurance company closes the claim, ill will strip the car for all its worth to me. For now, Ive got to come up with the funds, and ill be looking for another. Ill have more pics next week, and feel free to ask me anything.
