The V70R is particularly effective agains underpowered BMW's. Lots of 525i's with an attitude and hatred of what they must beleive is a "boring Volvo." Catching an unsuspecting R8 with the V70R was pretty fun too.

A friend has one and I can begrudgingly acknowledge that it is a little bit faster than e36 m3c to highway legal speeds.

One of these days I'll get around to recounting an imaginary encounter with a couple of aggressive harley folks on the lovely turnpike... Suffices to say that the cayman aerodynamics kicks biker ass when you're deep into triple digits. Morons. They started it, even as I was trying hard to give them room and everything, they decided to be jerks and they even paired up to block the left two lanes of three.

What an awful dream. In my next dream, can I see some pretty girls in bikinis, please?

Hypothetically, I dusted someone like you once in my fatass jeep.

That's because, hypothetically, that person wasn't in their V8 M3.

That might be a race, hypothetically. But I doubt it, hypothetically.
