Hey, guys...I just have to relate this story once again. The last time
was about three years ago, OK?
My Mom and Dad were involved in the middle of a (If I can remember
correctly) 67 car pile up on the road about 10 miles from Bakersfield,
California. That stretch of highway is famous for its' dust storms
where, visibility becomes ZERO, instantaneously(did I spell that right?)
AnyHoo, somehow or other, newscam helicopters showed up with, of course,
cameras.
They taped my Mom, telling the media-guy that "My Volvo saved my life".
Well, to make a long and laborious post a bit more pallatible. ...Volvo
gave my Mom a new car, paid for the trip to Sweden to see it come off
the line....AND paid her an incredible amount of money to show the
file-footage from the T.V. station.
Great cars, Volvo...I've been driving your products since 1967 with my
first new Volvo from Keyes Motors Volvo in Van Nuys, Ca.
However....something tells me that the current vehicles just don't
measure up to the crashworthiness of the old ones.
I still have my '84 Two Door Turbo...I luv it. Those FAT, blonde Lexus
drivers will never how I actually was able to pass them on the inside of
an onramp. Original turbo, too... It will outlive my '03 XC70
