While performance upgrades are a big focus for many Volvo owners, many more have other priorities for their cars, and this is no different for our staff and Project 245. Hauling a certain German Shorthair Pointer around in the back is one of many purposes the 245 serves, and the dog's short wiry white hairs seemingly have a plan of their own to invade the interior of the stationwagon.<P>Read more about it on our main page or in our Features section monday 4.29.02.

Thanks, I had to find some way to weasal the mutt into it. He rocks, though I curse him every time I vacuum the cars. Oh well, wouldn't trade him for the world.

When my wife and I travel, the back seat of the 940 gets filled with the following:<P>1 Cat<BR>1 Rabbit<BR>2 Parakeets<BR>1 Cockatiel<BR>1 Greek Tortoise<BR>1 Betta Fish<P>Luckily, they all have carriers, and the 940 has leather, so fur/feather/scale infestation is kept to a minimum. I took the old family dog for a ride in my 240 <I>once</I>, years ago, and I'm <I>still</I> finding his hair in the carpet!<P> <P>

It was an obvious pet and kit mobile. I spent a good 15-20 minutes vacuuming it slowly to get all the dog hair and crumbs out of the carpet, but I think all that crap was protecting it, because now it looks great!<P>

Dog gone it, V70 XC is what is written in my template for photoshop. I forgot to lable it. I'll have to do that when I do the updates next week.

No, it's Lupo. Yes, it's after a VW, but no the wife named him. He's German, so's VW, it's okay.

That's pretty funny. Come to think of it, Eibach wouldn't be a bad name for a dog.
