Cant believe its been two years since the crash. The buzzards are getting to the engine bay of the crashed car and some parts have come in handy in a pinch. Goal was to try to bend out the door and use it as a makeshift storage/bench for the property.
I am still floored by the safety system used. Watching the pole test gives you an appreciation for the seat rail system in the volvos. The occupant just moves over as opposed to getting launched like they do in other vehicles where the seats remain fixed.
SIPS in action Topic is solved

Ooof, that’s not buffing out
Saw more sips in action on a Hyundai? On Route 43 the other day…
Driver ok. Car salvage

notice how the car has a dent in it, must have skipped inspection at the factory, volvos aren't supposed to do that 
in all seriousness though, glad everyone's alright.
do you plan on getting another?

I currently daily an identical in colour, year, and model wagon. Only downside is the fuel economy which may limit the vehicle to a few more years of use.SirBrickWagon wrote: 17 Mar 2022, 09:17 notice how the car has a dent in it, must have skipped inspection at the factory, volvos aren't supposed to do that

Yuck i wouldn't drive without good winter tires ever (that korean).
Sorry to see crashing that but good to hear SIPS did work as planned and you okay at the most. And you didn't have under seat full of random stuff preventing that as such.
