The car has been a champ, it has probably 100 passes down the drag strip plus being ruthlessly beaten on a regular basis. It lasted longer than expected

Its hard to justify dropping 2 grand into a car I only have $4500 in, but its cheaper than buying another car and I just don't have the time to build a new beater toy every year or two anymore and this thing should have a few more left in it.

I'm amused by your "I want a Volvo." line -- this Regal broke my pattern of building turbo Volvo's for daily drivers.
