Volvo luv fest

[John Cassidy]

My first ride was as a passenger in a 240DL wagon.  We were on a highway that was a very gentle climb for 5 or so miles.  We were traveling along somewhere south of 50mph in a 70 zone, and the line of cars was growing behind us.  I said to the driver "Jeez Tony, why don't you justfloor it.  He replied, "I did...10 miles ago!"  About the only thing slower is a VW micro bus.  The seats were comfortable.  It's a good thing, because you'll be in them forever!
 
I did eventually buy an '95 850 turbo wagon, which was quite fast and fabulous.  Of course, it had a virtual clone of a 200 20v engine...2.3l 20v inline 5, 3 years after Audi introduced it to the states!
