Took this picture of my 2005 Volvo S80 this morning, all I did was correct the exposure and for some reason it makes the photo look ancient. Kind of neat though, IMO.

That’s a really pretty spot!

Also love the Swedish flag! I’m working on ordering a custom Euro style Swedish plate with my username

That’s pretty awesome, I didn’t want a front plate but the paint is damaged behind the mounting bracket, so I decided a flag would be most appropriate.

I’m one of the few people who wants one! My car was from MA before Florida so it has the bracket. Previous owner took it out and used paint matching plugs. I’m taking them off putting a bracket back and getting my JQJ 213 plate!!!

You enjoying your S80?

I love it just as much as the day I bought it. Hoping to have it paid off within six months, then I will love it even more. It feels like a master of all trades. Obviously it is not as sleek as your C30, but it is just so comfortable and, yet, quick, and taught. I love the styling too. I have seen maybe 3 or 4 other S80s of this generation since I bought it, but many more S60s and S40s. It seems like their proportions don’t really work. The S80 is perfectly proportioned IMO, its so pretty to look at.

Glad you’re enjoying your C30 too it sounds like. My plan is to drive my S80 until its no longer cost effective to do so, then upgrade to a 2007+ second gen S80. Dat floating center stack tho.

Make sure you get one with the wonderful Yamaha V8. That sound...
