I was coming to a stop where I would wait turn left into my appartment complex. Its a two lane road downhill and it had been raining. As I was coming to a stop, I saw a Volvo Cross Country thing run up on me too fast to stop. I rolled up almost past the driveway to give him the extra feet he needed. As soon as he appeared to stop he lurched toward me again so I floored it which resulted in a lot of steam and just barely enough escape velocity. I turned left into the next drive and began to back out so I could go up to my road. When I was backing out I saw that the Vovlo had been slammed by a Thunderbird. No one was hurt luckily. The Thunderbird was crunched up to the motor, the Volvo may need a new bumper cover. The Volvo driver was a kid with his mother and sister in the car, I felt bad for him. He looked both shaken and ****ed.

Anyway just so this post has a purpose, what if I had been rear-ended and totalled? I'd get $3000 at best for my car (199k miles). Makes me question my plans to put leather seats in and rebuild the powertrain in the next few years. Any thoughts?

ps I saw a nice '98 3.2TL for sale this morning.

Nice save. The place I live has more than average kids population. I'm afraid the same accident is going to happen to me one day. They are driving like 55 over 25mph zone all the time. So far, our area is suffering from lack of rain. Otherwise, I would expect to see much more accidents because of this.
