Re: Watch out for CA CHP V70-XC70 01

Tim, funny you should mention this. We made our first trip to San Diego last weekend from Orange County on the I-5. Just as I was taking the off-ramp from I-5 into San Diego a car whizzed past me on the left. You can't imagine my shock (I drive like a pilot flies - I split my time between left side mirror, front glass, rear view mirror, and right side mirror to maintain situational awareness and I didn't see the cop coming), fear (I quickly realized it was a CHP car but it didn't have a high profile light bar so I could have easily been picked off under other circumstances - in fact I could see a scenario where I might have thought a fellow Volvo owner wanted to race as they flew up on my tail in the left lane), and delight (it was pretty cool to see a Volvo for a CHP car). If memory serves me right, I think this particular unit did have a very slim low-profile light bar on top but I didn't get a chance to stare very long so I can't be sure. Either way, I now know to look out for S70s on California Interstates!

Thanks.

p.s. - I took out a S60 for a spin this weekend and know for a fact that if the interior size would work (and I don't think it would) it would be a much better cruiser for the CHP.
