New wheels!
Today I FINALLY got myself the new car I`ve been wanting and planning for almost a year!
A 2008 Volvo V50 D5. 224tkm on the clock, 180hp, xenons, original navi, electric seats, multifunc. steering wheel, webasto with a remote etc etc...
For some reason this one doesn`t have the D5 emblem, but just count the exhausts and you`ll get the picture -me disappearing into the horizon ;D
Summer rubbers on pretty sweet alloys. Gotta get another set for the studs too, I HATE the tin wheels... Ain`t a big fan of the color either but all the other things flagged this the best choice available hands down.

Nice car. I used to work at a rental lot where we had alot of new volvos. All the C30's, S40's, S70's, S80's and XC70's had this problem where the cig lighter fuse would always blow on them for no real reason. People would bitch up and down that their gps wouldn't charge. I even had people come back from the volvo dealership with the problem that they couldn't diagnose...
Oh this is a group of sportbike enthusiasts, I don't think you will be doing much disappearing, except in our mirrors
But I had one of those T5 S80's for about a week - that was a gutsy car. Accidentally raced a cop in it. Oops.
He was tailing me really close at about 1am leaving downtown (unmarked dodge charger). It was only 1 lane where we were so I just assumed he couldn't pull beside. Turned onto a 4 lane artery and let it go. He kept the pace right behind me for a while. It wasn't until I turned into my underground parkade that the red & blue started. Gave him my license but I had no registration. Funny thing is earlier that week I gave this same officer a really good deal on a moving van, I think he remembered me. I blew a breathalyzer (I wasn't drinking) and he sent me on my way.

Hehee, surely it's no match to any sport bike but when need be it does leave the scene with considerable haste It "only" has about 180hp but with these diesel prices and specially the astronomical taxes 2,4l is the biggest engine any mortal can even consider... After all it is a daily driver to get to work and back (80km/way) so a good mpg is a must.
