Re: Re[2]: 5000 Turbo swap into 4000

Have you ever noticed that it is no less expensive to insure a Volvo vs.
other "less safe" cars?  My personal hypothesis is that they tend to attract
the worst drivers, who have more accidents than owners of  other marques.  Just
my $.02

actually the 850 is a fine car.. it's just unfortunate that it has to carry
to usual v*lv* baggage of trying to protect your ever precious 3 yr old.

now, now.. the brakes have always been their strong point.

with the exception of the 850, the other models and the people who buy
them really do appropriately generate ridicule.

there's a 850 turbo with s4 turbo characteristics.. unfortunately they did
not have the will to design the car to put that power down onto all 4 wheels. 
CAR magazine says that tire retailers love them... :)

how come the only bozos who ever drive with *two* rear foglights on on a
clear night are v*lv* drivers?  it's the owners that are preventing a greater
market penetration i say.
