– saw a Volvo S60 R today, curious to know how much they're going for so I checked out Volvo's website. Starts at $60K. Ouch!

The Volvo R cars are not cheap....but they sure are a fun package!  I was tempted to look at a V70R....about 6 months back....but reality struck and poof...game over.  I love that pumpkin leather.

Our police forces still use the Volvo T5 estate cars, and having seen one accelerate after someone from standstill (for speeding I think), I can say they are super quick!

I think I've told this story before but my brother played with a 850 T5 with his supercharged MR2...and got his arse handed to him.

Spring must be coming.They are starting to crawl out although I'm assuming JB that you meant you saw your first new Vette - an 06 model?

No no, I saw 3 or 4 '06 models on the dealer showroom floor a few weeks back.  This was the first Vette I saw period in Ottawa it was an '02 I believe.

Most don't take out their cars till the sweepers come out in April here.  When I was in T.O. for the autoshow I saw 2 vettes a millions TT's and a few boxsters in only a short period of time.

Ottawa folks tend to keep the toys in until the good weather.

I discreetly 'flip the bird' to any H2 I encounter.

Saw a white H2 on the way home. Even uglier than a black H2.

Saw my first Elise on TV this am. Man! What a gorgeous set of wheels. Kind of silver grey color, very sharp.
A Saturn Sky was on the same show too. That's a real eye catcher.

Some clown around this area has a bright red H2.  I just cannot help but look at him - yes, it's a him - and think, "My.  What a tiny penis you must have.  Shame, really.  And your brains must be even tinier, because you're passing more loonies out the ass end than a ten-dollar hooker on welfare cheque day."

Brigitte believe it or not that guy with the Red H2 is enjoying his billboard as he has been noticed, don't matter good or Bad  as everybody is remembering him. His advertisement of himself or whatever is working. He's probably writing it off. There's no accounting for taste.
