New Addition to the Family

We have added a new addition to the family this past weekend. Weighing in at just over 6,000 pounds this newbie is not on the trim side. As you can see, our new baby is a 2005 Volvo XC90, AWD V8. We bought the XC90 with the Titanium exterior with the Tan(or Taupe) interior. Definite upgrade from the Toyota 4Runner that this car replaced. We were the first to drive this baby and it had only 2 miles on the odometer when we left the lot! These photos are from the Volvo web site but are basically the same car we purchased.

We like the 7 passenger seating which makes it easier for us to get around when visitors come in from overseas. The 93.5 cu. ft. of cargo space are just what we need with 2 kids and a dog. Tons of other options make this SUV really stylish. Handles very well for a larger vehicle and has good acceleration with 311 horsepower. Who knows, maybe one day I'll get to drive it again if my wife decides to share.
