Everything on the Volvo S80. Sometimes called an "executive car", the S80 was Volvo's top-of-the-line passenger car. P2 platform.

Just an FYI for everyone. My wife hit a mamouth pot hole this week, and bent the right front rim on her 2007 S80. Result? New matching rim, $660. Happy winter.

You could have bought a whole set of good looking aftermarket rims for that money.

My wife hit a huge pothole in our 1996 850 Platinum Edition. That hit slightly bent the rim, and the driver's side windshield wiper now doesn't touch the windshield at the end of the sweep. Makes me think it bent the body somehow. Strange.
