I don't see that many of them here in the Bay Area. Ever since Volvo started renaming their entire line, I'm lost. I know the S80, S60, and S40. Then there's the V70 and the C70.

I'd tease him too. ;) Sorry, I'm not a big Ford fan -- unless it's a Jag. > Yes, but it is hot too. I liked the silver I had best on my 900. Yeah... Its' hot...

I was also told by the salesperson that there weren't many Black 9-5 Aeros on the west coast. In fact, there wasn't one in the Bay Area at the time. They actually had to get my car shipped in from Seattle. So, for a short time, I think I was the only Black 9-5 Aero in the Bay Area, if not the state. I still haven't seen many Aeros on the road. I see the occasional silver one. I do see more 9-5's, but generally the base or SE model. But I still haven't seen a 9-5 with the pedestal spoiler (like mine). :) >> I don't do convertibles. :) > How come? A convertible in San Francisco??

And, you just need a > vehicle that is able to do that quickly. I do find them very well-built, even compared to my dad's Mercedes (C280). The 9-5 definitely has it's pick-up. Especially when you click on Sport mode. :) >> Plus, I don't have to be one of the thousands in >> Silicon Valley with a 5-series BMW. > Oh, they are around here lots too, all the ivy league schools. Young kids > driving them, (graduation presents) thinking they are so cool. HAHA!!! I see a few of those people around Stanford. :) I'm class of 1997, and it took 3 years before I got this car... So I'm not exactly old... ;) All I got from graduation was a watch. :) A friend from high school got an XK8 when he graduated from Boston U. Ugh....
