D1DeMar Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 i fliped my baby doing about 83mph, went right on the roof and started sliding front first into a bunch of seagrape bushes, kinda acted like a pillow for us. the body is trashed but the engine and everything else is salvageable. Does anyone know price range on 96R motor with 95k, and is there a market for it?This is a time of great sadness for I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1DeMar Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I just got new tires so i started to wear them in a little and it just got out of control, i got spedo past 140, and you could hear the engine climbing. slowed down and pulled a u turn well when i launched out of of the turn my back left tire shreded, didnt have enough time to get her under control, slid into the dirt and my right front grabed a stump and like nothing the car was over sliding toward the trees, all i really remember is lossing control,fliping, the wind screen shattering, the air bag poping off (little thing is fast) and then a fat branch coming threw my window and not more then 3 inches away from my head. 4 people in the car, 3 wearing seatbelts, i got the worst injury, bruised knuckle. i may have been doin somethin a little stupid, but i thank whoever i was in a volvo, that car saved my life, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin H Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Glad your o/k.Next time you try and become James Bond please do us a favor and don't have others in the car. Didn't you hear about the m5 story? Your a perfect candidate for the list of people not allowed near airstrips.Once again glad your o/k! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt b Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ignore the M5 jokes. Glad you're OK, sorry that you had to learn the hard way. I may be interested in a few things if you decide to part the car out. Are you going through your insurance company or are you just eating the cost ?

D1DeMar Posted February 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I woke up in the morning and turned on the tv to see if i was on and there was the airstrip kids, same night, you hear about people dying like this all the time, i really am lucky.body panels are preety much shot. front r fender was riped off and is hanging on only on the passenger side. Glass is everywhere in the car but seats and such are alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
