Default New Volvo owner

Hello all,

4 weeks ago I bought a 2003 Volvo V70 and I absolutely love it, quiet, fast, safe decent gas mileage

Besides the Turbo failing on the way home from the dealer this car is fantastic, I've already hauled a ton of stuff my other car would never be capable of - it's awesome.

Here she is:

The many benefits of a wagon. All wagon owners would be blood guilty not to jam the cargo hold full of stuff once in their life...

I second this one for sure. This is why I miss my 850 wagon sooooo much.

I found out later it was grossly overloaded, I hauled 23 boxes of hardwood flooring, each box weighing in at around 50 pounds
No complaints other that tail was dragging a bit.

Congrats! Definately have been there done that with the overload. Have hauled 2x4s that went from the windshield between the front seats and out the back. While loaded with pavestones in the rear. Gotta respect and love the wagon.....
