This was my car for a week last year.
Its a Volvo V70 estate. It has a buildin CDplayer with subwoofer which really wasn't bad for standard equipment, it really blasted!!
I drove 2043km(~1275 miles) with it. And for those who think this is a family car...WRONG. I pushed it, without problem, to a speed of above 240Kmph (~150Mph.
That was on the German "Autobahn". I actually passed a Porsche but the guy didn't accepted that, so he passed me 10min later with a speed about 280 I think.

No, he means $40.000. Just because we in the USA use commas, doesn't mean that periods can't be used just as effectively.

All you needed when you passed the Porsche was your grandmother in the rear in a rear facing seat knitting. She could wave to the Porsche as you went by. My brother said that's what REALLY REALLY bothered him on the Autobahn when he was going over 100 mph and a Mercedes TC passed him like he was standing still and grandma in the back waved to him!!!

Okay Warthog but with $3 for a Gallon, you would not drive that much as you do in the US.

oops didn't see the extra zero - I thought he meant 40.00 instead of 40.000, I would understand 40.000
