That didn't work out so well for some folks in Oregon back in the 60's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding…

No, Steve, what you're feeling is normal, and healthy. You've now got a box-shaped vehicle with about 5-10x the power it had from the factory. Some swelling of the genitals is to be expected.

To sum up:

While this is all kinds of neat and cool, could this be thwarted by having missiles/drones/boats/etc coated in a mirrored surface, Liberace/disco-ball style?

I think I've found my zombie-pocalypse survival transportation of choice.

I agree that the original Beetle and maybe the Volvo 240 would be appreciated for simplicity/practicality/reliability/longevity/etc.

They should measure the output in Moosepower and ft/lbs of Thorque, because Sweden.

IIRC, next up is a curious lack of car/truck batteries to the general Russian public.

I like it. I'd prefer 4-doors, but that's just me. It's a little reminiscent of the 242 that way. There doesn't seem to be any reason that there couldn't be four doors, but F-it, we've only given it two. It's sort of a hybrid of the 242 and 245.

A sub-note to this. If your vehicle has a higher trim level or shares a platform with a luxury brand of the same manufacturer, you may be able to upgrade some of your suspension components relatively inexpensively.

Wait. Is THAT why they call us Yank-ees?

2.) Volvo 850

where is your God NOW?!?!

I think a little poo came out!

I blame the metric system.

There's a Don't Sled on Me meme (picturing a stack of tires similar to the Gadson Flag design) to be made here, but I don't have the Photoshop chops to do it.

gotta remember that one in the chamber.
