I saw the Volvo again today.  He lives in my neighborhood.  His front end was smashed in and his lights were hanging on by the wires.

Wait so you had an encounter with him but didn't notice he was from your neighborhood? o.O

I think he just moved in last week.  He has NY plates.

Shortly thereafter, said Volvo is found mangled.


Coincidence? I think not.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

It may be that bad drivers buy safe cars to protect themselves and to heck with others.

yeah, except volvos don't weigh 3-4 tons like  every mom that drives a huge suv.

I agree, there are a lot of fat moms. Or would you care to rephrase?

Traction control, stability control, navi systems, self parking cars, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning/control...

4 wheeled vehicles are heading towards making a commute a lot like riding public transportation - except most people will be alone in their vehicle.  People have no incentive to become better, more attentive drivers because technology is taking over for them.

I can't remember the last time I had an issue with a Volvo driver.  It's the SUV drivers, giant pickup truck drivers and minivan drivers who are usually on my sh*t list.

I even went as far as ordering the S60 in AWD to give my wife more of a fighting chance.  Seemed like a good idea until I saw the estimates on how much it cost to repair the All Wheel Drive system after she rear ended the Navigator on I-85.  The reason Volvo's are safer in a wreck is because EVERYTHING on the car breaks so you don't have to.

if he followed you.. I was probably ready to knock you out. He had an adrenaline rush and was pissed from crashing his volvo.. and blamed you for it. That is total disrespect. What did he expect ? that you apologize? People are crazy.. I'm glad he didn't pull a gun on your face.. sorry that he is your neighbor.. but at least now you now there is a crazy person to avoid!
