For the remainder of the month, and December, we have featured Matt Ferris' S60R this month. Matt has been a long-time member of our S40 community, and though he has traded into an R, he remains in our group
Enjoy!

Write-Up:
Well as most all of you know, I had an S40 T5 for a couple of years. I truly loved that car. I had no plans on trading in my S40 until after I went on a cruise with some of the Seattle area R guys. I found I was having some trouble keeping up in the hard corners with the FWD on my S40. On the way home the following day I just happened to stop at a Volvo dealer and they had the only S60R with the options that I would of given up my S40 for. Just to get a couple things straight, my S40 had 65k miles a failing CEM due to a wiring mishap with the halos. So I was up against some looming repair bills. The R it had 23k miles on it, 6speed, and the AWD that I wish I had on the cruise.

I tried not to mod this car but like that was gonna happen. A few months later I dropped my car off at iPd for a day of modifications. Now here I am with what you see here.

Thank you for letting me be the car of the Month.

I really am a S40 guy at heart, I just kinda drive an S60 for the time being.
