Yesterday my son was traveling north on I-5 at 70mph and fell asleep at the wheel of our '99 S70. He ended up into the guardrail and ran over a light pole. The airbags went off, the front end is toast and the windshield caved in. An off duty EMT came up and wondered about whether someone survived or not. My son walked away with only a scratch or 2 on his forearm. They took him to the hospital to check him out but even today he doesn't even report any soreness. I've already started looking for a replacement Volvo. It'll be my 7th Volvo - '92 960 wagon, 97 960 wagon, 97 S90, 99 S70, 2000 V70XC, 2001 V70T5, and the replacement, probably another S70. Sorry, no pictures yet.
