I'm not complaining--I have the 2.5T, which does have enough power to keep me happy.

Have'nt Volvos gone to "Flash chips" that can be re-programed with a laptop computer ??

That's possible. I've never re-programmed a chip, though. But one of my dad's pals knows how to do.

It's a good car. A little thirsty but all Volvos are thirsty.

VOLVOS are thirsty ?? Try my first car. A 1968 Plymouth GTX with a 440 (7.2L) V-8. It got 10 miles to the gallon with a strong tailwind !!!

Being thirsty is a relative thing, but yes, they are thirsty. Not that thirsty but thirsty enough.

There. I got to write "thirsty" four times.

I guess you're right things ARE relative, but the Muscle Cars of the 60's were the thirstiest of all. All the Detroit Auto makes offered engines in the 7.2L-7.5L range. FSM bless them for it too!!POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!

Oh, I agree. But nobody around here can afford to actually drive one of those.

No, and why? Because our politicians are cowards that let us pay 88% or something in tax for the gas.

So when do you plan a take-over of the Swedish government ?? What title will you assume as the leader of Sweden ?? Will you bang the royal princesses or banish them into exile ??

Litigious I, His Royal Highness, Duke of Exxon. He'll bang the Princess but throw out the others.
