Hey all-


I'm sure you've heard stories like this many times, but last week my 1987 240 absolutely saved my life. I was driving on the highway, and had to come to a complete stop, due to a previous accident. As I stopped, I looked in my rear-view, and saw a PT Cruiser flying downhill towards me, at between 50-60mph. He plowed straight into me without putting on his brakes. I had a split second to brace before the hit. The impact was tremendous.


I am sore and have some imbalance & whiplash, and a scratch on my wrist. That is it! If I was in my Mustang, I would not have survived. I am so thankful to be alive today. The crumple zones worked superbly, and the way the car absorbed such a violent hit was incredible.


I've attached a picture of my 'Hoopty'


VOLVO FOR LIFE!

 

Wow!! the PT Cruiser must have looked ten times worse,those cars were junk when new. Glad you walked away.

 

If his 240 hit the PT, it may look something like this.
