    Why is there no concavity on the v?

    Different versions of the ADV08, they make one model with significantly more concavity than the others.

    I picked up a 2004 Volvo V70R with a 6 speed manual transmission a few weeks ago, just in time for all the crappy weather. 300hp. I've decided to have fun with this one and will p*ss away some money on exhaust and software to get it to 350 or so. Also ordered new front and rear painted bumpers & trim and OEM wheels from Volvo for less than 1/2 what I just spent on my 360 major+minor stuff at a good independent. :)

    My first AWD car and it's just amazing. I normally drive E30 or E34 BMWs with full snows in the winter and they are quite good but this thing, even with Conti DWS all-seasons, is unstoppable.

    Saw a white Acura TSX wagon tonight. First I've seen in that color; pretty sharp IMHO. Too bad they aren't available with a stick but I can see myself owning one.

    still counts in my book :)

    those are great cars. I had an E36 M3 that I sold to a family friend. about two years later he bought one an R wagon (new at the time). shortly thereafter he quit driving the M3 altogether...said the Volvo was the better car. says a lot IMO :)

    (he also had a 1st-gen GTI and a 740 turbo sedan in the past, so he liked quirky sleeper cars ;))

    Love your car and the stance is fantastic. May I ask if your rims are BMW or aftermarket and is the car lowered (sport springs) or stock?

    Thank you. Yes, it's lowered. The wheels are OEM style 128.
