[s-cars] Worthy projects (was Alum..was UrS $)

[JR]

Check out the turning radius on the Volvo S60R. A friend of mine has one 
and he regrets buying it for this alone.  It's very annoying.  It's hard 
to park in between two cars in a parking lot or ramp and forget about 
making a u-turn on anything less than a 6 lane divided road without 
using reverse. Even then it would be tight.  Even my battleship of a 
URS4 can u-turn at most intersections.
