Volvo S80 2008

As mentioned on my earlier blog, some pinhead smashed my sweet and loaded Pacifica 05. So, we shopped for a replacement and we had this shortlist:

2008 MB C350 (starts at $36k)
2008 M35 Infiniti (starts at $35k)



2008 Volvo S80 (starts at $42k)



2008 BMW 535i (starts at $45k)


So why S80?

• Safety Period. My family is safer in Volvo cars. We have a XC90 and we're very satisfied with it
• No frills, No gimmicks. Simple and sophisticated.
• Interior is awesome. Wood panels are real wood. Minimalist design.
• Bigger than any of the cars mentioned above. C350 is for couples without kids. M35 is roomy but cramped. 535i is roomy too.
• Quite inside, smooth lines. The rear is captivating!
• BLIS - Blindspot Information System. Useful especially when changing lanes.
• Volvo reliability.

I'm back again!

t's been 3 months since my last post. I will try to put in more stuff from now on. So, what's up with me?

• Wrecked my Pacifica 05 - actually, a driver from Bedord on his cellphone travelling at 70mph smashed my rear. The impact was quite strong but the Pacifica's shell and reinforced body was strong enough to sustain an incredibly small damage. The insurer decided to pay me instead of fixing it. I bought a Volvo 2008 S80. This car is huge, gracious, classy and quite. I will post my personal review on this soon.
• Job is pretty good even though the US economy is faltering. The company is continuously hiring.
• We had a guest from Manila for 3 days. He's the CIO of a bank and he spent 3 chilly days in Dallas. We went to the 6th Floor Museum, Shopping and ate so much food!
• Kids were accepted to the LAC (Lakeside Aquatic Center) Team back in November. This is one of the premier swim team in the DFW area. They absolutely love it. I'll post pictures later.
• Spent Thanksgiving at Tito Francis' House and Debbie's House. Pictures will be posted later
• Invited 30 of my friends to a Manny Pacquiao - Oscar Dela Hoya Watching Party at home. Manny destroyed Oscar in 8 round TKO! Wow!!! Pictures later.
• Bought some cool stuff - PS3, xBox360 for Ia, Insignia 50 Plasma (and installed it on our Game Room's wall), Sennheiser HD555, cool PS3 controllers, Acer Aspire One, Nikon P60 and other cool gadgets

I promise again to post more frequently :)
