Volvo Hotrod
I like Hotrods, but I've never lusted after one before.
Volvo's version makes me drool a bit though 
Edited to add, the "briefcase" on the front is the blower !

Love is like a snowmobile, speeding across the frozen tundra.
Which suddenly flips, pinning you underneath.

its a jacob .
and up until the advent of the 140/240 , volvo did make sporting saloons that were nice to look at , re the amazon .
altho i do like the 140/240 , the saftey concious image and the fact they wouldnt produce them with turbos here counted against them in peoples minds
.
they have a good retro following now tho since they seem to last a bit longer than most !

It always like that style of volvo but their becoming quite pricey now. Seen a lot of customs using it, including a purple striped convertable years
ago.
the diff on the hot rod is a scaled up vintage one as per the old car
where the hell do you get tires like that?
and did you notice how the front disks are mounted? very smart

I quite like that, as it looks nice and clean. The car as a whole is awesome, some very nice details that i'd like to pinch

im amazed at the amount of 'too much plastic in the engine bay'a see a carbon fibre cover with some plastic .
how many people would say no to 225/250 hp in std form in rwd and be able to do 200,000 miles without trouble ?
