Flat Black Volvo V70 Wagon Murdered Out

Wagons are the most gangster cars on the planet.  If you're going to do some bootlegging, either booze in the bad old days of prohibition or weed in the bad current days of prohibition, you need extra space that a sedan can't provide.  You also need to avoid notice, which this flat black Volvo V70 would if it were bombing down a country road at night with no headlights on, using night vision goggles if you're a wealthy smuggler or piloting by the light of the moon and pure manliness if you're working on your first million.


I have no idea how to tell the V70R from the standard V70, but I can hope that this is a V70R with the turbo 2.5 liter five cylinder that makes 300 horsepower and has all-wheel drive and an optional stick shift, because that makes me want it more.  That would also go a long way towards making this murdered out Volvo V70 the best smuggling car ever.


Even lowered and tucking wheel, the flat black V70 has enough ground clearance that it won't scrape on most speed bumps or bad roads, so it looks nasty as hell but it's still practical.
