Picked up this last night for a daily driver/winter car while my Nova's off the road - a Volvo 940 2.3 Turbo. It's alright, not really what I'm used to driving, and so far owned it less than a day and found some interesting electrical issues. lol

1.6 stripped out with buckets and hard enough suspension to rattle grandmas teeth out actually lol I'd drive the Lolvo as a winter barge if I could afford feeding a 2.3t though, 2.3 turbo to the rear wheels in the snow ftw lol
