Nice to hear from you Sherry, hope your health is improving.

Sherry says "... the loss of one of my beloved cats over Christmas."

Losing my beloved Mek Mek a few years back really smacked me hard, so I can relate to what you're experiencing. Cats are one of life's greatest joys and losing one is a gut punch. Condolences.

Thanks, it's been tough on the family.

Then, in the middle of the mess/death, my wife was getting her hair cut and a drunk slammed into her car. We're waiting to hear if it's a total loss.

So glad to your wife was not in it. It will be best if they total it generally, but this does not look like enough to meet the value for them to do this.

Interesting, it looks like it has a cross car leaf spring. Volvo parts catalog confirms this. I did not know they did this.

It is not repairable. We got a settlement offer yesterday, ~$3500 more than expected.

The mid 60s and later Corvette used a mono leaf spring for the independent rear suspension. Sometimes old tech was smart tech.
