A sobering crash comparison, 5 years apart, same curve 200 1976

posted by  someone claiming to be Old Volvo Junkie on  Fri Dec 28 10:52 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Personally, I feel pretty safe in my 20+ y.o. Volvos. I was in one of those offset head-ons in my '76 242, combined speed about 65 mph. Didn't walk away, I drove home after pounding out part of the driver's front fender and changing the tire. The Subaru left on a rollback. Did I mention I wasn't wearing a seatbelt? Did have to junk her though, knocked the unit body about 5/8" out of line. Definitely don't try that with yer Civic!
