Senna was awesome, I still remember watching the crash that killed him when I was younger, I think it was Brazil if I can recall...coming to a turn, lost it and flew across in to the barriers/wall

from '99-'06 the engines offered in the S80 were n/a I6, Twin Turbo I6...then in '04- they offered the turbo inline 5 as well. Which is the best reliable drivetrain Volvo has. And yes, it was also in the S60/V70 series cars. Lots of issues with the 6 cylinders. Shi++y designed twin turbo system mated to a GM 4T65EVGT transmission. Lets just say we don;t recommend this drivetrain to anyone except to those we dispise

...enough about Volvo. I deal with them all day.

So I am guessing that the meeting point is a go. What time should we shoot for meeting up and regrouping???

Who said I'd be going to an Evo meet?? J/K You guys would still love me, right? We'll see, it's all up in the air now...I just want to see what else is out there...

I'm thinking about it...no matter what, you can pretty much expect to lose money on ANY car... depending on what I can sell the Evo for PLUS my partouts, I may not be too far off..... I am trying to decide what my happiness/comfort is worth...it's a very difficult decision, as you can imagine.

You wanna buy a sweet Evo VIII?!? I know someone who might want to sell...

it's karma- it wasn't long ago you were bragging about playing games all day in order to 'test' drivers.
