    The IPD car was certainly the catalyst for the lifted volvo movement. It was pretty crazy, built with volvo factory engineers. It had the 4.4 yamaha v8 from the xc90 in it, air struts, completely custom subframes and control arms. Its very cool besides the 20" rockstar wheels.

    Small post trip fix I thought Id share since its very common on the E series. If you've got a door thats hard to open, you've likely got a broken rubber release cable end. Instead of spending a bunch buying new cables, dorman offers new aluminum ends for only $11! Now back to work! Had one...
