Niiice classic Volvo. I love the RWD models. And I really like how you said you would give out before it did. :D

I believe those are "Z"s. The trip computer has dozed off.

she's a little rough around the edges, but it's my first car that I can call my own and I don't think I would have any other. I think that I'm probably going to upgrade soon and go for the turbo version for the extra power.
