Not to hijack ellis's thread but i'm sure he don't care.
Yeah picked up another 04 Volvo S60-R. This is a salvage car. 6 speed, 30k miles. Runs and drives. Not wrecked but water damage. After investigating it looks like the previous owner was about to get repo'd so they put a hose in the car and filled the front floor with water to get the insurance to total it. Worst case scenario i'm hoping that i'll buy new carpet, replace a few SRS components like the controller and side impact sensors. There really isn't much electronics on the volvo's mounted to the floor. They're all up high in the engine compartment or up high in the trunk.
Monday i'll know a whole lot more. I don't mind doing some repairs because I got it for about 1/3 of what they sell for around here.
Just got my fingers crossed it'll make the 1800 mile drive home. If not i'll arrange transport and fly home.

I am sure we could come up with a truck and trailer to get it. Damn Hijackers!
Yeah but man it's an 1800 mile trip EACH WAY!
I figured it's cheaper to take the gamble and fly down and drive it back.
Fuel prices these days......
1800 miles x2, let's say 25 mpg, $4.75 gal diesel...... $684 in fuel plus days off work, etc etc.
$300 for tickets for me and my 2 girls to fly down, $4.25 per gal at 30 mpg, $255 fuel cost.....
Little cheaper, less time and it'll be good adventure for my kids....even if it is deemed not worthy of the trip and we end up flying back.

sorry to hijack just the ship the car....i just a quote from WA to Ok and its 895 which isnt bad i would spend more than that in tickets and gas
I think I can cover that. 6500 RPM clutch drop on street tires.
Does second gear count too or does it have to be a continuous black mark? 
It might also destroy my 10 bolt so I can upgrade. 2nd gear, 4k rpm's, modulate with brake pedal.

Nothing but power non-stop makes
BTW Was not the first time had claimed that prize
