Large, boxy and seemingly dowdy Swedish car brand. The older RWD volvos (1800, 100 series, 200 series, 700 series, 900 series) will quite literally run forever with good maintinence, and time will tell if the FWD and post-Ford cars will keep that mantle of reliability. Although often bashed for their emphasis on safety, Volvo has been building surprisingly sporty cars for quite some time, such as the 740 turbos which had 180 horsepower in the 1980's (at the same time that the corvette only had 220 to put things in perspective). The performance of the R-line of cars has increased from adequate to BMW M-car challenging with the new AWD s60R and v70R models.
My currently underpowered Volvo 940GLE sedan will become a mustang-eating Q-ship once I drop the twin-turbo S80 t6 engine into it.

Get the Volvo mug.The toughest game ever invented. It's simple though, keep the ball of your court and cram it down on theirs! Anyone who disagrees try diving for a ball on game point and busting your head open, to then find out you got the ball up and won the rally to win the match. Now thats a tough sport! DONT B FOOLED BY THE SPANDEX, its just a uniform.

Two individuals, Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, from El Paso, Texas. The band originally formed after their Post-Hardcore band, At The Drive-In, went on an "indefinite hiatus".
Their music is often classified as progressive rock, with heavy punk, jazz and Latin influences. They are known for their wild, energetic, and highly improvised live shows, cryptic lyrics, and use of ambient music to help establish mood.
The Mars Volta is not the entire band. It is only Cedric & Omar. Omar writes, arranges, records and produces all of their music. Cedric writes all of the lyrics. The music is then performed by what Cedric & Omar call "The Mars Volta Group". This includes Isaiah Ikey Owens on Keyboards, Deantoni Parks on Drums, Juan Alderete de la Peña on Bass, Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez on Percussion & Synthesizers, Adrian Terrazas-Gonzales on Flute, Tenor Saxophone, Bass Clarinet and additional wind & percussion instruments (2004 in studio, 2005 in show - Current) Pablo Hinojos-Gonzalez on Guitar & Sound Manipulation.

Get the voluntold mug.You take a latex sleeve that goes up to your shoulder, like what they use to inseminate pigs, and you roll it in Elmer's glue. Then you sprinkle rock salt and a little bit of broken glass onto the glove so it's stuck to it. Then you shove your arm into someone's asshole and just drag your knuckles up and down along the sides of the colon. Then you shove a rat in there and cork up the ass with wine cheese. Eventually the pressure will build up and the cheese will go flying off spraying fecal matter and blood everywhere.
