Death of a Volvo

This is what happens when someone turns left on green and you run into them.





The car I punished for pulling out in front of me.



Most likely going to be fully their fault.  I had a green and they decided to turn across traffic, even though they couldn't see what was coming.

I was probably doing 40 when I hit.

Once I got the radiator pulled away from the engine, I drove the car up into the drive.

Ouch, that's the good thing about Volvos though; they're safe cars.

  Well, from the looks of it, I don't think you'll have to worry about that other car anymore. I think a tree would be proud of the curvature you seem to have induced.

Wow, that was quite a hit! Glad to see you're okay. How about the people that got hit? If there was a passenger, by the looks of the car I'd say they're going to be hurting for quite a while.

There wasn't anyone in the pass seat, but she did have a child in the back seat.  The driver might've banged her head on the side window, but the little girl was OK.

That's good the little one was okay. You would think people would be more careful when they have kids in the car. I bet she will be from now on.

Glad every one is okay. Knew it was going to be ugly after seeing pics of the Volvo. Those are tough. Not to sound insensitive but kudos for taking out that SB. I can't wait for the day to see mine in a crusher.

I was just looking at one of those Volvos the other day. I don't know why I like them but I do. http://providence.craigslist.org/ctd/2774073884.html
