I think about it every time I have to pass up a parking space. Ah well, maybe when the dollar rebounds!
This isn't my car, thank Heaven. (I admit to stealing this pic from a random blogger -- "fair use" to promote all that is great and Saab! The guy's only injuries were scratches from where his glasses got pushed up onto his nose, and it was an SUV that hit him). I did have a Volvo broadside me in a '91 900s; the point of impact was behind the right front wheel and the whole side was bashed in -- the car was totaled but I was fine.. most any other car and I'd have pins in my right leg at the very least. I called the dealer the day after I got my insurance check and bought the exact same model over the phone.
