Nice Volvo, but I don't see it as a logical replacement for the previous vehicle? Seems like two totally different cars for completely different tastes...

It's a C70 which has a turbo and a retractable roof. It rides very nice and the stereo sounds a lot better than the Shaker 1000. We got a good deal too, X-Plan and a $1500 rebate.

Very nice. Does it have a name yet. How about Helga or ABBA?

Looks like a logical choice since he has two other Mustangs in the garage.

MS Paint included in Windows resizes and crops pictures very easily. Post those pics...

My wife was home when a 6' diameter Douglas fir came down through the center of a home we were renting in Boluder Creek about 10 years ago. It ended up about chest height through the center of the living room. No pics but we have a video of us and our home from a local ABC newscast.

Yes the Volvo is a nice car. I would certainly take one. And it is a few large steps above a Chrysler Sebring.

It might be but my wife likes Volvos. She had a '92 240 and a '96 850 both without problems. The competition was the Shelby GT vert which even my wife noticed its flaws and the BMW 335i which one of my sisters has one, is $15K more than the C70, and has had to take it for warranty issues four times in its first six months.

Cute car. My buddy has one. He never drives fast.
It has a better stereo than the Sebring and handles better, that's about it.
Oh yeah, its at least .2 of a second quicker 0-60.

I don't care how fast the Sebring is, the problem is its still a Chrysler. I wouldn't care if it was 2 seconds slower, there's more to cars than 0-60.
