Volvo still makes a damn safe automobile
« on: »
My wife totaled her 2003 Volvo S40 yesterday, and walked away unscathed.  
Not a scratch on her , and only very minor aches and pains on the dreaded day after.
It was single car accident, no one else was hurt either.
She used to have a :cough: go cart :cough: Miata and it always made me uneasy that it was a damn death trap.  
It took some convincing, but with the help of her family I talked her into the Volvo.  Great decesion.  For those unfamiliar, the S40 is the litte Volvo:


It\'s also the least expensive, so you don\'t have to shell out an arm and a leg for a little quality.  We\'ll be getting her another one just like it.

The only pics we have were taken with Bridget\'s cell phone.  If there is way to upload those here, I don\'t know it (surprise, surprise).

How- Bridget drives faster and takes more chances than a drunken NASCAR driver and it finally caught up with her.
Where- Route 9 New Britski en route to West Farms Mall

Actually, the new ones aren\'t that boxy.

Been a Volvo man for ten years now and would not change. First of all, a 440 saloon, then two V40s, the estate/stationwagon version of the S40 (now replaced by the V50). The current one is a diesel too - 46-47 mpg on a combined urban/motorway cycle - also means I pay lower road tax as the car is greener.
