V60 Polestar in "Swedish Racing Green."

If that's not available, I'll settle for a 240 Turbo or any older model Volvo.

When we first got Gran Turismo, I started with a dark gray Primera. Why? My old Sentra SE-R

In forza, I get a 2004 STI, Silver. The reason? My pride and joy, my 2005 WRX Wagon.

Evo 6. Always. Can't wait to get mine stateside legally next year.

Something with a lot of horsepower and very little control. I love that combination in video games.
