I'm Back!!!

[1986nate]

Okay, so I really wasn't gone but it had been a few months since I had logged on. I got very busy with work changing locations as well as myself moving. Shortly before Christmas I was T-boned by a Ram that I was fortunate enough to walk away from thanks to Volvo engineering. Since following that I had a week off of work, followed by two week trip back "home" to Wisconsin, it worked as a refreshment of sorts and has me getting back here and focusing on the SVX again. So, with that being said, as many of you already know, anything you need, feel free to ask.


Oh, and pics of the carnage for those of you not on facebook. The Ram was doing 55 in a 35mph zone.

Let me know if you can't see it, and if anyone wants to edit it so it shows up on the page, feel free. I can't remember how to do it and despite being 27, I absolutely fail with technology. I had a bruised kidney and other bruising. No spine, neck, head injuries or whiplash of any sort.

WOW!! You did well to walk away from that, them Swedes know a thing or two about safety.

Yikes! I'm glad you're alright, that car is seriously messed. I assume you had side air bags?

Yes, side impact as well as curtain. Without the curtain, I'm sure I'd be suffering severe head trauma. I'm also pretty sure had the impact been about 4-6 inches further back, I'd be in much worse shape. He barely clipped the front a-pillar frame. The bumper went into the car nearly 2 feet as is (21-22 inches measured from the wheel line)
So needless to say, my Christmas and New years was spent visiting everyone I could and being extremely thankful to be alive.
