 Ah, HA!  So THAT explains it.  I'm on a fast highway this past
 weekend, and a shiny-new ovloV is at my 3-o'clock, seemingly
 in a playful mood.  S70, eh?  So, I play... HEY, how did that
 ovloV get to my 2-o'clock???

but guess what: Volvo has AWD know too.  And a very impresive one at that-
torque proportioning center diff, auto-locking rear diff, and brake actuated
traction control on front axle.  And they still sell an awsome DOHC 20v turbo
5 cyl that is easlily modified to make damn near 300hp.

Always loved volvos, just wished they had all wheel drive. 10 years
later...well I guess they finaly listened to me.
