Great-sounding car. Sorry for your loss.

Re: Volvo damage sustainability: My aunt, her two friends and I were driving on the Autostrada few years back in a rental Volvo. We got sandwiched in fast heavy traffic and heavy braking between two audis when someone farther ahead suddenly cut across several lanes to duck into a rest-ioney area-lioney.

Audi behind had to be towed away on a flatbed, audi in front was smashed up in the rear badly. Our car was a little bit out of joint almost everywhere, but if you stood more than 20 feet from the car, you could hardly tell at a glance it had been damaged at all.

We drove that car for the rest of the vacation week with no problem in Italy and Germ'y.

I hope you can keep your car for parts for your next Volvo.
