You should try driving a Volvo for a while, you cop abuse for just drivingI drive a small Euro hatchback with a decent amount of go (sorry, not a Renault) and I swear it enrages every large SUV and DC ute when I sprint off ahead of them.
but thanks to the 4.4lt Yamaha V8, I didn’t have to worry about many drivers a bit of squirt of the loud pedal and they would be a dot in the rear view mirror 
I'm talking the highway.....
Oh nice - that engine is a honey. Yamaha sure know their shit! I'd love a 90s Ford Taurus with the Yamaha "improved" V8 in it...You should try driving a Volvo for a while, you cop abuse for just driving
Theory applies - road widens and opens up, lizard brain goes faster. Its at work not being as aware of their surroundings as they should. I dont take it personally.
FFS. You take everything else personally but this.....
Go easy. I’m pretty sure when someone says…
…that they have a medically recognised mental illness.
Phew...when you said 90's Ford Taurus, I thought you meant the one that looks like a Mekong catfish
I do quite like those too. Its different, back when Ford had some balls in their design department. Its not pretty obviously, but at least its different!
its head looks like its arse!...only you Harkkers
I don't think you would find a mechanic that didn't have any jokes about them, even a ford mechanic. I can remember ringing up ford and pricing a top radiator hose and it was $160 trade and nil stock in Australia, meanwhile a KB laser top hose was around $6 at that time.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing, so unassuming with 440nm of torque, zero to a hundred in under 8 seconds not bad for a 3 ton SUV. Only sold it as it was getting close to 300,000k’s on the clock but was still running sweet, the Mrs is still pissed I sold as she loved it.
Oh, now I’m disappointed… They put that lovely thing in those abominations… Sigh.
And thats what I loved about this, due to the hip replacement sports cars and even normal cars are pretty much out of the question as I cannot get down that low comfortable anymore. This thing had a comfortable ride height for me, handle well as the suspension set up was brilliant but not cheap (rear shocks were $2800 a pair
) and certainly surprised quite a few people, embarrassed quite a few people too . ah good times, geez I miss that car.
Does anyone even register it as a Volvo? It’s just another bloated kiddie crusher in a sea of them…And thats what I loved about this, due to the hip replacement sports cars and even normal cars are pretty much out of the question as I cannot get down that low comfortable anymore.

But fuck me did people have issues with it being a Volvo, now I didn’t flog it everywhere I went, you know like driving to and from work, when you’ve got the family in the car going for a day out. I had people swerve at me, tailgate me, I had one swing into the left lane then into a merge lane to get around a car I was overtaking but apparently not fast enough for him. The best was some bogans in a Ute that seemed to really not like the way I merged into the traffic with the ginger passenger hanging out the window yelling at me, as I took the next exit I blew him a kiss, well fuck did that set him off
