This is sort of cute. It's a takeoff of the "prancing horse" Ferrari logo... It''s a "prancing moose" Volvo logo! Kind of like a Ferrari...if you squint REALLY hard...  Dave Riedle |

MadMike: Even though it's not air-cooled, you would probably like the Volvo. It's actually d**ned fast. I borrowed a GPS computer and played around with it for a couple of days. 0-60 6.2 seconds Quarter mile time: 15.8 seconds at 88mph. This is with an automatic transmission. but I did have the "magic button" depressed, so the gearbox was a three-speed rather than a four-speed, I would think that it might have MadMike's seal of approval.

Mighty impressive! Fantastic times! Of course, the Volvo is probably a bit more comfortable... Power leather seats, air conditioning, automatic, sunroof, stereo, cruise,,, Unfortunately, the Volvo would not hold a candle to a real race car, and sadly, the driver would not hold a candle to a real driver...probably couldn't handle the power!  Still, Dorothy might actually come to some shows in it. Much quieter, and much much more comfortable than the Puma. Ore the soon to be sold Fiat! Dave Riedle |

MadMike:
Actually, that would be VERY cool! Never had a ride on a drag strip. As a mater of fact, have not been in a race car with another driver since the primary driver on our rally car managed to break both him thumbs in practice over 20 years ago. There should never be holes in steering wheel spokes...too tempting to put fingers in when you are not paying attention to what you are doing!
