but I couldn't figure out how to attach an image to a PM. Thanks for your help soulspinner! This car is almost as nice as a new bike.

Sweet wagon... also, just my opinion, but a half day and some white paint will make your garage look 1000x better.

Mebbe so, but the driver's side garage wall molding with the felt/electrical tape is a nice touch.

Love you bargainguy! Hell, I wasn't sure if it was going to fit without a lot of white lithium grease!

First ride report: 600mi in, it is a very comfortable and addictive ride.

Glad I could be of service, you got a great deal by the numbers. Take care of that thing, many happy miles.

Itll be fun to to pull up to a 2003 911 and dust it at a light. My boss could not leave me in his new (modified already) 2015 Corvette in the wet. I had an R design and after corners his car would step out and my car would close up. When he lifted I made sure to stay flat. He couldnt believe it but the Haldex AWD works extremely well and he couldnt "drop me".:)

Nice car. If your boss couldn't "drop you" in a 2015 corvette he needs to learn how to drive.:bike:

It was wet and rolling hills lefts and rights. Vette is rear drive. 460 to rear wheels(intake, headers etc). I had a 325 (flywheel) AWD car that's superior in the wet. Yes Im the stig compared to him on everything but a motorcycle. Those he raced pro............if it was dry hed have gotten away.

Calling a V60 R a nice car is the perfect description. I'm excited about it because it is so capable in so many ways. Soulspinner helped with my progression from an XC60, to V60 Drive-e, to V60 T5 AWD, to the V60 R and I am really grateful for his help. I have come to believe that all Volvos are nice cars. Take an R for a test drive or two and you just might find a way to get one in your garage. I am not going to say it is fast, or that it handles well, or that it is comfortable, or that it gets great mileage being driven hard, or that it is surprisingly practical, or that during Volvo's summer sale it is a fair deal, or am I? :)

Thanks again for answering my silly questions soulspinner!
