Being as the VW flipped that big truck it must have been well exceeding the speed limit. A driver after my own heart! VW was operated by a Kamikaze pilot?!... June

In demolition derby rules, if you are still able to move you are still in the game. VW assumed still in the game. The Ford rolled over and dropped out of the game.

No VW was mushed beyond the wheel on one side disabling it in that spot. I really felt sorry for it... So the Volvo driving by must have won! June
Looking at my pictures you can't see the driver side of the VW. I had to pass that side to get around the accident and the damage was worse on that side. I took those pictures on my way home which only gave me one side.

COVID madness has set in.
Known cures for COVID madness
- Filing ignitions point by hand until the contact surfaces are exactly parallel
- Indexing spark-plugs to optimize performance or fuel economy
- Measuring valve clearance and installing shims
- Adjusting solenoids on the Aisin transmission until the shifts are exactly how you like them
- Rebuilding the rear differential because the pinion bearing has failed
I know that there are more cure's but those are all that I can think of right now
FYI - there are no winners once the COVID madness has set in

Noticing the Volvo fonts on your 1999 v70 and 1999 S70 are different. On one letter
Finally putting your summer tires on, in September

Strange but not surprised. Considering I believe here in Calgary you can only buy a Jetta after labotomy (or so it seems) it is not surprising one ended up under a truck. Positive is one less Jetta on the road!!
Shame about the Ferrari. I guess it proves that although they are low to the ground they are not that low to go under a pick-up!!
