Well the wierd thing im worried about is i wqasnt scared even when i saw the oncomming traffic as i slid towards them.
even when i stoped i got out and pushed the fuel cut off switch off then got back in and drove i wasnt shaking or anything i didnt and still dont have any feelings towards what happened thats whats worrying me its more like i was saying aww crap when i saw the traffic and thats it.
I dont think thats normal

Just shows how much you care about your ford
Yeh, that's what I hear. Someone in a Jeep ran into the volvo and wrecked his car, and the volvo didn't even suffer frame damage
Lol maybe just find it wierd i wasnt scared 1 bit yet the movie IT still manages to give me a scare :P go figureJust shows how much you care about your ford
The way i see the old Volvo's is they were built for safety not styleYeh, that's what I hear. Someone in a Jeep ran into the volvo and wrecked his car, and the volvo didn't even suffer frame damagehehe
they could hit a light pole and the light pole would be worse off than the volvo
Oh well off to see how much the frame for the wheels are bent and how much it will cost me.

Nope, its not generally normal but I see it as a good thing. The important thing in such a situation is that you dont panic.
I have seen poeple (including myself) been involved in an accident, they got in such a scare that they tend to do silly things without knowing. My very first accident was with a big lorry carrying 40 foot container. Its been 3 months when I passed my driving test, my first car too. I was stationary at the round-about when this lorry hit my car...on my side. The front driver side of the car was in the mess. Only if the car was 1 meter forward more then I dont think Ill be alive.
I was so angry when I realised I been hit, then I though I could have died there and kinda start shaking. In a panic...for some reason I tried to move the car forward without thinking about the incoming traffic...and heck another car nearly hit me and this time it would have been my fault.
The last time was 4 month ago, its not really a car accident but it was more of an attack. This time I was lost so I stopped by a dead end to look at the map. As I try to work out which way I should go I saw 3-4 guys behind my car all hooded up, I cant really see who they are as it is about 1am.
They went around the front of the car and start banging on the bonnet with their fist. I though oh ok maybe Im not so welcome here, I started the engine and start to reverse out of the dead end. As I got further they started to bang the side of the car, I realised this poeple are bad and I knew I better start reversing faster. I got further away but this time one pick up a brick and throw it out me...missed. Another was thrown and hit the bumper. By then I was reversing at max. As I got closer out of the dead end another brick was thrown at me, BANG hit the windscreen...I thought **** this isnt even my car.
I evently got out of the dead end and drove forward into the main road. The GF was well shaken...she asked me why I was kinda happy?
I said...thats because I though I handled the situation without a panic and I did what I had to do to get out of the danger.
The point Im making is that the more you get into those situation the calmer you become...not saying you should look around for danger to practice
I've had the banging on the car thing - ******* annoying isn't it? You'd be forgiven if you'd driven straight into them though - I certainly wouldn't look down on you if you did....
Can't condone violence, but you can't fight it with words...
I had my carputer and new stereo system installed in my car for less than a month when this happened. So now I am presently installing into the new car...

Hey, Brrman, what happended? From I can see in the pic someone hit you from the side. Probably a Jeep...
Hope you were Ok...
Nice story ricky u handeled that well
It was my first car crash so i dont know how i can get better in that type of situation lol
My friend said she wasn't surprised as its very hard to get me scared or worked up but still i almost died would of expected the hands to shake.
Prob why the people who came out to see if i was ok were shocked how calm i was. oh well thats good i guess
Brrman sorry to see the car was damaged so much what did happen id like to know to i hope u didnt get hurt?
Oh yeah i just got the Wheel alinment and all is well was out of wack but its fixed now altho my front left wheel seems to give off alot of road noise than normal so i'll get that checked out to as if my stereo is half way up i can still hear it altho i do relise that i did hit that wheel pretty bad so i dont expect it to be like it use to be still that doesn't sound right but thats a lucky save
Cost me $39 for the wheel alinment so the new wheels is the only costly thing but they look great on my car

Actually - a guy ran across my green light and I t-boned him. A big 3-ton utility truck. My nose went under him, but he continued to move and drove over the front of my car. I was fine - the car handled the accident well and crumpled where it was supposed to. It's half the reason I bought another audi.
