Bought a new family car this weekend. Thought I'd share.
1999 Volvo V70 GLT. I'm enjoying it. This is the first Swedish car I've owned.

Thats no family truckster thats the euro sports wagon that they ordered in the first place.

not to up on the volvo models, what drive train options does your new car have?

5-Cyl. 2.4L Turbo with an automatic tranny.
Looks nice. It just needs a rear spoiler and some Prancing Moose stickers to be perfect!
the wife and I don't quite see eye to eye on the various upgrades it NEEDS. 
I just ordered one of these stickers.
awsome
what upgrades are you planing for it?
I've got a pair of the shield versions of those stickers on the front fenders of the Saab.

IPD makes performance parts, including swaybars for volvos.
i used to look forward to getting their catalog back when i had an old 760 turbo

Some suspension upgrades would be nice. But, it's a ways down on the project list.
Family Trucksters have lots of fake wood panelling...
Still a very competent wagon though!

Yes, looks like you have me beat in the truckster-ness.
I like that sticker but the meaning is lost on me. I'm thinking if you could find those positioned left to right instead of up and down they'd look badass on the side mirrors.
This may help:
OMG that's fantastic!
The Moose.
..is loose!
that sticker alone is making me want a volvo
There is a story behind the moose decals, maybe true, maybe just a story.
It's something about a Swedish conducted "moose avoidance" test, as in, the vehicle passes if it can swerve at speed to avoid an object such as a moose and not roll.
Personally, I think it is just a stab at Ferrari. Really cool either way.
btw, nice wagon!
