Big Will Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 John, I was shocked to see your post and the pictures. That looks like the fender-bender that everyone has nightmares about.Whatever car you end up with, keep in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leurven Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Thanks all for the comments! Probably looking at an e30 BMW next for the time being - just want something cheap with no payments and easy to work on without having to hook it up to the interweb. I'll definitely stay in touch.Maybe if a Sonic Blue 2006 or 2007 V70R comes along in a 6sp with atacama I may be back in a Volvo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V70TeeFive2Catch Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Sorry for your loss John.I lost my 850R wagon almost the same way....parking lots suck !As much as I love Volvo's switching to a VAG car will be a nice change of pace.

leurven Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Certainly will. Will be nice to have an engine bay I can basically climb into and an engine and tranny I can drop in only a few hours. No ETM too - YAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordvo Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 :( Sorry to hear about your car, but I'm glad to hear you are ok. Can't wait to see what you get next!Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmD Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'm really sorry to hear that, John I hope you know I always admired your car a lot, and I think that speaks more to the way you took care of it than just the car itself - I hope you'll stay close with the Volvo community :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliwagon Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Sorry about the car man. Some of us on here know what it's like to lose something like that, especially a rare model. But as CJ told me when my T5M got totaled (and someone told him when he lost one of his 242 turbos to an engine fire): "You just can't get attached to this stuff."Good luck with the part-out, if you go that route. I'm pretty glad to have mine over with! (though I do still have the M56H kit lying around if anyone wants it for $950, no shipping).BTW, I hear the door panels alone are worth about $950 :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overboost850 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 It was a beautiful car. Sad that we won't be seeing any more photos. Hope you can find something you like even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilled man Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 If someone is interested in the entire car I would look at a number around $7,000 including shipping to your door. I will hold all sales of other items listed if you contact me by the end of Sunday. what are you smoking ? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPTDoh Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 So sorry to hear about that Kinda crazy to think about how much time it spent on the track and it gets totaled in a parking lot :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt b Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Damn that stinks, I love that color too. Good luck with your next car, there are plenty of fun 5-6 speed alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolvoGrrrr Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Dang...So sorry to see her in an accident. She was a real beauty. Saw this R when it was owned by Sharma in MN and then in CT by John. So sad to see a R being totaled. Good luck with the sale and getting something else. I too have been thinking of an 07 Sonic Blue R. If you do end up parting out, keep the R owners in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
