Yes, of course and let me say I was so happy how my 900 performed for me. I locked up the wheels (saw it coming) doing about 50mph and laid down lots of rubber that tooks almost a year to disappear from the road. My Saab held straight, didn't squirrel around to either side and that impressed me. >Dashboards move a lot more than people would think, > depending on the crash I've seen a few, probably not as many as you though. When you see it like that, it's always amazing to see there really isn't all that much to it. (My dash did not move) >(and the car, of course...never cut anyone out > of a Saab...) Glad to hear it! The cop told me I was lucky I was in a Saab. The girls cars (an escort) was a complete mess and she got ticketed not only for the accident, but she had kids in the back seat WITHOUT seatbelts on!!! I was so pissed.
