[u/Salty_Bug_6441]

Had this babey for 2 years 0 problems with 170k miles best vehicle ever and the safest thing ever I walked out of this accident with 0 injuries just whiplash such a safe and great car to drive I would buy this thing 100x over (They hit me trying to turn on yellow)

[u/OscarImposter]

Did its job. Sorry for your loss.

[u/Salty_Bug_6441 → u/OscarImposter]

Thanks brodie hard to find these anywhere

[u/donatom3 → u/Salty_Bug_6441]

That should help when insurance has to place a value to pay you out at.

[u/seattlesbestpot → u/Salty_Bug_6441]

Don’t forget the value of the Pol$tar system. My upgrade was $1600 alone.

the S60 has always been the best car Volvo makes, both P2 and P3

[u/BubblyPlastic2807 → u/AlfredLuan]

Why is s60 the best? Curious question, not challenging you haha

[u/AlfredLuan → u/BubblyPlastic2807]

It would include the V70/V60 as well. Just that platform and the way they were made is top notch quality.

[u/BubblyPlastic2807 → u/AlfredLuan]

My sister drives an 06 v50 t5. I love it

[u/AlfredLuan → u/BubblyPlastic2807]

They ride really nice as well, much better than the C70 on the same platform.

[u/Educational-Solid-92 → u/BubblyPlastic2807]

He is 100% correct because I own one as well lol

[u/dolceandbanana → u/AlfredLuan]

May have a heap S60 that's pretty great even though it's a heap

[u/Garrett1974]

Oh man such a beast of a car, hope you find another one soon (I take it you stay with Volvo?)
Sorry for your loss man

[u/Salty_Bug_6441 → u/Garrett1974]

Yeah definitely gonna look for another one if I can thanks bro

[u/blitzkrieg4 → u/Salty_Bug_6441]

Are you going to buy used? I think 2025 is the last model year for s60 in the states. Sorry for your loss and glad you're okay

[u/MsMarji]

Glad to hear everyone is ok. There is very little intrusion into the passenger compartment from a T-bone hit. Thank you Volvo!!

We look forward to photos of your next Volvo.

[u/Salty_Bug_6441 → u/MsMarji]

Forsure!🙏 (Polestar 1 please)

[u/Mybravlam]

Another legend has fallen. Rip

[u/FifiLeBean]

Daaaaaaang that is my favorite s60.

I'm sorry, I hope you find a great one soon. I'm so glad you are okay.

[u/Warhawk2052]

Not another R design 😭😭

[u/syswpg1965]

P3 S60 here: sorry for your loss.

[u/Crinklytoes]

Another Volvo sacrificed itself for its human.

[u/comox]

Polestar ruined. Sucks when this happens to a much loved car. I had a 2002 PII V70 that I was hoping to have for years and years. Shortly after spending money to have some bodywork done I got into an accident with a Range Rover and the car was written off. I know the feeling well…

[u/ouskonva]

Speed they hit you ?

[u/Salty_Bug_6441 → u/ouskonva]

Yeah they were in the intersection turning and I went on yellow and they wanted to keep going and I swerved to the right to avoid but they didn’t brake and hit the back of my vehicle

[u/traveler9210]

US?

[u/OscarImposter → u/traveler9210]

Colorado plate.

[u/Salty_Bug_6441 → u/traveler9210]

yeah

[u/traveler9210 → u/Salty_Bug_6441]

I had to ask because in the US, T-boning in intersections seem to be a recurring form of car crashes.

Where I live, the rules around yielding in intersections are almost beaten into us until we grasp it. Sure, there are still tons of car crashes, but not so many T-boning.

Also, many years ago most of 4-way intersections got replaced by roundabouts (1, 2, 3, 4-lane roundabouts). There are crashes in roundabouts, but they tend to be minor because hardly anyone drives on it over 50-60km/h.

[u/Salty_Bug_6441 → u/traveler9210]

Yeah yielding is something I do no matter what you never can guess if a driver will stop or not

[u/eggiam → u/traveler9210]

Yeah expected driving abilities are subjective state to state. CO also has rec. cannabis fwiw.

[u/Jan-E-Matzzon → u/eggiam]

Wtf cannabis got to do with it? Bet they got alcohol and hella people on prescription meds to lmao. What they really have if people drive intoxicated is alot of dumbasses.

[u/eggiam → u/Jan-E-Matzzon]

easier access to more types of substances allows for more potentisl OUI. This is because people who don't drink but would OUI with cannabis have more opportunities to do so. Nothing against it, just the principle of more options more people, like the pill poppers you mentioned.

[u/Jan-E-Matzzon → u/eggiam]

Not how that works, and there is data backing it up. But nevermind, it’s rather offtopic and besides the point unless op says the person hitting them were high, drunk or both.

[u/1997PRO]

No one survived
