Tonight a Volvo saved my Ass
 

So tonight I was shooting photos with my brother out in Richmond, we just left the Richmond Oval and was stopped at a red light. Suddenly I got hit from behind and get pushed out into the intersection like 15-20 feet. Luckily nobody was crossing the intersection cause I would of been t-boned. The 2 guys who hit me admitted they weren't paying attention. Grrr my poor Volvo =(

Glad you are safe man.

Did you have the foot on the brake when it happened?

wow that accord looks fine

make sure you get checked out asap and then a week after, whiplash is a bitch

Wow, glad to hear you are alright, poor poor volvo...

there's like no damage to that accord?!

Holy fuck. Thank god you're safe. I'm surprised your Volvo went so far.

yeah I did but the impact was so hard i let off the brake

that accord is made of kevlar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how did it not take damage

Glad you're okay dude, looks like there barely any damages to the accord.

hmmm. icbc will have some good questions ...

why are the accord headlights still in tact with such collision?

shit glad you're okay man. im surprised i can't see any damages on the accord.

Now that I think about it.. This makes Honda look really good, haha.

yeah the Accord didn't show a lot of damage considering how hard they hit me. Both their airbags deployed and their horn wouldn't turn off until they disconnected the battery or something. They didn't even ask if we were ok...or check if we were alive. What chokes me is some car behind them drove off after the accident like they didn't want to be involved as witnesses. I dunno but if you saw a car get hit like that and pushed that far out in the intersection, its common courtesy to stop and check if everyone is alright!$# /rant

Holy christ, how fast were they going that they pushed you that far?

ouch man, that intersection is always a bitch, the design and the surrounding just makes it... awkward.

Hope you are OK!

BTW HOLY SHIT that accord must've hit you pretty darn hard.

is the accord driver a c lai?

damm you are really lucky cars were not comming

accord doesn't even seem that badly damaged, hope you're okay.

Wow, lucky you didn't get hurt. My question is how fast was the driver in the Accord going? He must have been hauling ass towards the intersection.

that sucks dude.

the fags in the accord should be curbed for being fags.

could you imagine if a pedestrian was walking in front of your car when the impact happened?

grr people need to pay attention

wtf... how did he push you that far, with not much damage to his front lol.

Wow.
The 08 Accord that hit my Lexus from the side was crumpled. This gen Accord looks fine? wtf.

So i guess volvo's bulletproofness has declined, cause a 940 or a S50, s70 so on would just rub that off :D

My friend had a old ass XJ6 Jag and we got rear ended by some VW a few years back. The entire front end of the VW was gone, the Jag had two minor marks on the bumper. I was beyond shocked when I got out to inspect the damage, there was no damage whatsoever. The old Jags were built like tanks but drove like tanks as well.
