Perhaps you didn’t. But this one is worth watching from at least two angles.

This particular rally took place in Estonia, near the north shore. You can find out more about it here — but if the course is always like this, I might relax my no-rallying stance and give it a shot!

- Theflyersfan Pros: Stick shift, turbo wagonExtra tires and wheelsBody is in decent shape (although picture shows a little rust)Interior is in decent shapeService records so can see if big $$$ is coming upCan handle brutal "roads" in Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania, although the spare wheels and tires will be needed. (See picture)Cons:Mileage is high Other Volvos on the site are going for less moneyAnyone's guess what an Ontario-driven in the winter vehicle looks like on the lift.Why wasn't the interior cleaned?Clear the stability control message please...Of course it needs to cross the border if it comes down here. She lowers the price a bit and this could be a diamond in the rough. It isn't brown and doesn't have a diesel, but this checks most TTAC wagon buyer boxes!
- Spookiness They'll keep chasing this dream/fantasy*, but maybe someday they'll realize their most valuable asset is their charging network.(*kind of like Mazda with rotary engines. just give up already.)
- MaintenanceCosts If you really really want a stick-turbo-brick, damn the cost, this one might make a pretty good starting point for an overhaul/restoration. But the cost will be such that you better be very committed to the concept.
- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Style wise I'll give Volvo props for making boxy sporty. I would love one like this, but too much money pit potential.
- Jbltg Nope.

When I finally got a broadband internet connection back in the day, I spent waaaaaaaay too much time watching people jump cars on youtube... This was kinda impressive the way he saved the landing and then drifted it, but it's by no means an impressive jump in itself. I've seen people get more height in an RV (then going to the hospital with back injuries, but, well, omelets and broken eggs)
Very well done! My buddy once jumped a Texas gate with a rental Chrysler. The jump was measured at about 40 feet. But when he landed the airbags went off, knocking his hands off the wheel and sending him into the ditch where he scratched the side of the car on some bushes. He didn't spill his beer though. He drove back into town with the windshield smashed and the airbags hanging out, and came up with a perfectly reasonable story for it. There's no reason the airbags should have gone off for such a minor impact anyway.
