Ye Olde Volvo Crash Tests
This ad has been posted and pulled from YouTube before, so we’ll see how long it lasts. 45 seconds of crash-porn, showing old bricks being thrown, crushed and rolled to test for safety.

The Best Car to Die In?
The Jalopnik blog rated the Volvo 240 as the 5th best car to die in because it’d be so damn hard to.
