My dog likes German cars. . .. Expensive German cars. . . .. Who am I to complain about such things. . . .
Long-time GRMer Woody recently picked up a 1998 Volvo V70R for his dog, Violet. No, she doesn't drive—she prefers to be chauffeured in the cargo area with its nice amenities and built-in, retractable dog screen.
Woody remarks:
As a Dog Hauler, it is nearly perfect: flat cargo area, built in dog screen, low jump in / jump out height.
But we car people sometimes have ulterior motives, like maybe say a dog hauler that could see some time on a track. However, as Woody continues:
But as a car…well, it's not really what I expected. And this comes from a guy with Volvos in his past. I think what it comes down to is that, once you remove Porsche 911s from the equation, the best 21 year old car in the world is still 21 years old. I had visions of a dog hauler that I could possibly do a track day or some ice racing with. Ice racing could still be an option, but even if I went through the engine and every suspension bushing, I couldn't imagine taking one of these to the track.
Thankfully, that won't stop Violet from enjoying her Volvo.
