I managed, on my birthday AND wedding anniversary, and after dropping my
wife's overheating car off at the mechanic, to get into a car wreck. It
really took the thrill out of the day.

Everybody walked away without injury.  Everything else in this world
can be replaced. It was quite a wakeup call about priorities.

My 240 took a hellacious hit, and i did drive it home, but I am not
certain what the claims adjuster is going to say. I can now see the
sidewalk through the trunk where the rear bumper USED to be.  

My wife, who used to have an '86 240, has talked trying to find another
vehicle for her own use.  With a 5 year old, I think I'd take an old
Volvo over darn near any new vehicle out there

Thank heaven for the 240.  I may never drive anything else.

Possibly looking for a 240 wagon
