Default The real test...

...tonight my fiance', I and her brother and sister-in-law are going to be driving the S80 to Dave & Busters (huge adult-style ' not **** .. lol' gaming place) in Cincinnati which is about an hour drive each way. Before this the only driving in it has been around town with the longest trip being about 30 miles roundtrip. Wish us luck!

Made it just fine. It was nice for the first little trip ! Felt a little lead foot here and there down I-75 and loved the way it handled Nice smooth ride even with the struts needing replaced. Comfort inside the cab was awesome also! Comfort and smoothness of ride sure beat the Mustang and the Explorer by a mile!

Thanks,

Cameron

S80's are really nice riding cars. When my daughter and her husband go anywhere that's the car the take. The also have a 4Runner and a Subaru.

S80's are really nice riding cars. When I go anywhere I usually take the local train. I also use another train and a bus.

......

.....I need a private vehicle, I should buy a tricycle and put on a Volvo badge as well asS80label. I wonder if anyone makes aluminium wheels for tricycles.

Will do, thanks for the suggestion. Will also add dual-outlet tail pipes & T6 logo to make it a head-turner. Gotta get a set of 3 cross-drilled brake rotors as well.....

Don't forget some lowering springs and a performance chip for the tricycle.

You bet. Will also need optional heated seat package, as well as beefed-up stabiliser for the rears, as well as rear spoiler.......
