Spook, we are vegetarians (aren't all Volvo owners? Oh, wait, that's in Cambridge Massachusetts LOL), so the venison was unfortunately wasted. Bummer, that.

Thanks for the tips and encouragement. The damage is mostly in the right and center front. The fan I don't think hit the engine. The AC condenser may be toast as well as the radiator. The bracket that goes from one side to the other along the radiator (a radiator support bracket?) is bent. Nothing major. This is why I am so bummed that they totalled it. Your average insurance pensil pusher doesn't have a clue as to what these cars are like, so they just do their job pushing numbers in and out of spread sheets and out pops the answer: TOTAL LOSS. Well, as soon as I find out what their terms for settling the claim are, I will make a descision as to which way to go salvage or another car.

Thanks for the tips.

BTW, someone from the list contacted me with a smashed in the rear 960. Will most parts interchange from that? It's a different color, so the hood is a problem, but the rest of the car may work for me.
