Wag-a-mo: love this car, but it's an automatic Exactly. My. Thoughts. Except with my 850

.

Rob: Try to go a month without a flabed ride, huh?

What recent upgrade did it in?

Madspeed: Beauty Volvo. Just gorgeous. Springs: iPD or Eibach or?

gmtgmt: 500k Miles! Whoo! And that 960 Polar... wow. Just wow. If you get a 0-60 (or 100kms) time, please post it.

rspi: That yellow R could be the nicest Volvo in a city, just it by itself. But no, you have a whole crew of nice Volvos.

The black R... that was the Colorado car, yes? If so, I inquired about it when I saw it on CL.

IVIUSTANG: That XC might fit your lifestyle more than the S70 SE did, judging by the mud spray!

Gena: Great 544! Thanks for joining and showing us your baby!

slantvaliant: Slant 6 Chrysler Valiant? I had a Slant 6 in a Volaré. That '93 looks perfect from here. Amazing how a '93 can be so nicely cared for over the years. Yours isn't unique because people really care for their Volvos.

hatpmv: Welcome! Looks like a newer S80, very nice.

TheWagles: $1800? Great buy. I've always loved that color.

Jbl: That V8 really makes that S80 get up, huh?

Here's a few pictures from last winter where I did some offroading in the mountains. As it turns out, I was driving on top of 7 feet of accumulated snow. Needless to say, after a mile or so I got really stuck; to make matters worse the trail was so narrow that I had to back out for the full mile. It sure was fun though, and the XC70 AWD performed valiently!!! In fact, the XC performed alot better than my friends F250, he came along to be my tow vehicle for when I got stuck. His F250 was so heavy it just sinks, he barely made it 30 feet and got stuck, then we all hopped in the XC70. Can't wait until I install my 2" lift
