lol I needed a car for work, to deliver Italian food in, unlike the POS Stanza that I have right now. I'm selling that instead. Yeah the previous owners were sad to see it go, as they had brought their son from the hospital back in '82. It's rust-free too :)

I'd love to, but I don't wanna fuck this car up.

Wha? that thing is FR?
Volvos being know as the "safe" cars, I assumed they'd be FF

Older Volvos were RWD.

They have lots of understeer stock, which is what Volvo designed it to be in the first place, hence the "safe" car.

There are ways to actually make them fast too, its scary. Well maybe not make the diesels fast but yeah. My friends uncle is a lunatic. He worked at some European motorsports place and his car was a old 2 door black Volvo, with black 5 spoke rims. The differential was welded, it had some crazy turbo on it, and it had a fmic. The thing is fast! Fast enough to were the nutcase runs nitto drag radials as daily driver tires, on a Volvo, yep. In the 1/4 he ran 13.1, it should have been faster but 5th gear is electronic overdrive so for the last bit of track he was bouncing on the revlimiter
