He probably went for the whole bag at once. Somehow, I suspect logistics isn't his strong suit.

Same more or less on the posts. Somewhere around CanAm 2010 or sometime in 2011 was where my posting starting taking a huge nose dive.

I was like a different person back then. Big bag of hot air. Still am, but smaller now.
So like... a small bag of hot air?

Yepp! I pop on every now and then just to see if there's anything interesting. And yes that's my thread!

I'm waiting for a few things to update it again... just dumped a lot of money back into the car. It's time for a revival. But honestly a part of me wants to sell all the parts and the TL... so I can buy a Volvo V70R and start working on that. My new daily is a V70 XC and though a bit slow it's a blast to drive. Few small things and I suspect it can push more power than the TL can.

Sounds cool. I have a very small level of knowledge of Volvo cars. Never really was around them.

They do seem fast though, especially the T6, i think, with a polestar tune. But what do I know?

The V60 with PS tune was a hoot and that interior was to die for.
Tell me you have the inline 5 with a spooly boi!?!
I'm after a V70R at some point as well, man...I was SO close to buying one in Cali but I couldn't get it looked at
and the guy sold it before I had a chance.

Without the PS tune they are "fast enough". Fantastic cars though!

Man I really wanted a new V60 or V70... but... yes... I got the older inline 5 with spooly boi. It just felt like the right move going with a Volvo.
It was incredibly slow when I first got it. But a new 3" downpipe with 3" exhaust changed it. Got a few other minor mods coming in to improve drivability some more.

I got it in auto as it was my work/daily car... and immediately wished I opted for the manual. Factory 4 piston front and rear brembos going on soon.

FUN FACT: The V70R front brembo CAN bolt up to the TL brembo if you machined the bolt-hole slightly larger. With my quick math you'd be able to run a roughly 14" rotor. I'm actually considering doing it... just gotta find a 14" rotor to test it out.

The V70R (and S60R) are still holding their value really well actually! Even with just a new intercooler and maybe a light tune the car really goes.
