yer right, those Volvos are pretty stylin'.  I'm sure there's one under 
every third rock you turn over in Cali.  Up here we have to recreate 
them with special rayguns that operate on mounds of rust.

No kidding.  It's not us or the Pine people who send out the virususes. 
  It's the Outbreak Express bozos.  Look into it, folks.

I've got an Audi 5-speed for you!  In other news:
I found a MkII back bumper next to the parental home air conditioner 
unit under a boat bouy today.  It's pebble black and has a (small) stock 
spoiler with it.  The squirrel/nut phenomenon strikes again.

If Jeff manages to drive to Cincy from out of my towns then anyone can 
have anything big that fits in his rental Kia without puking too much 
gear oil or rust for very cheap.

People have done it all already:  ABA, GTI, TDI, scooby-doo, let UBU!
 From what I see, the I-4s don't give you much other than that familiar 
feeling.  The machine was made for a boxer.  I vote boxer.   Get an 80 
and do hi-po air-cooled if you're in the land of eternal vehiculage.
