That is funny. They probably only swapped the engine to get rid of the oil leaking pos engine that was in it.

How's the saying go? "You must be young and dumb before being old and wise." He'll be very wise one day...

Lol very wise one day? Don't exactly follow the logic. What a waste of a corvette engine though.. I hate the way volvos handle. I used to have a 760 turbo and the back end would brake loose like nothing else. You always feel like you're floating on the road in those cars and I never feel very confident with the amount of traction they have. +1 on the leaky engine comment, I've seen a lot of those engines last a long long time but they're always leaky

my aunt loves volvos...I always told her they were POS...and she said no they run great up to 50k then its time to get a new one....and thats why she gets a new volvo every 2 years...I never heard of a volvo with 350K...

Not my first, second, or probably even 2,456th choice of car, but heck of a motor job.
