Thanks Venom, LOL, finally figured out what I wanna put on the vanity plates when the tags expire next year, HMSVLVO. Its as big as a destroyer, and as tough as one, so Why not? The HMS Volvo.... YAY! Originally was going to go with SS Volvo, but she isnt an amercian, so Her Majesties Ship works better :p

Nevermind, I just remembered it is against the rules here to post links to other forums. Too bad, I know of a couple of great Volvo forums.

I am a member of a forum called swedespeed (no link) you can google, its a nice forum but not nearly as large, so responses are a little slower

Nice car but I hope you have a long warranty. The S80 has a very poor reliability record. I almost bought a loaded 2000 S80 until I read all the horror stories. Its not built like the older brick volvos.
yeah you can brag it has twin turbos but these days meh.

not bad. but i too would be worried about the reliability. regardless it'* a huge step up from what you were driving...what others cars were you considering when you ended up with this one?
