Not to clutter up the thread, but...
Would work on an S60 as well; anything with the battery in the trunk.

2018 Hot Rod Drag Week, used the rig to get to the parts store for an alternator. Called the car “Attempted Murder Nova,” ran 11s all week. After the last blast, hooked the trailer up and drove home.
