I took these tonight. It was just about freezing so no hope of using my tire shine. Oh well, the pics turned out good.

Looks good! One of these days I'll mishandle an s-turn and use the insurance money to buy a C70.

I hope you like wind noise!
The windows in C70s are terrible. <_<

Well, it's only apparent over 120-130 km/h, which is over the limit here. The other common issues are that they squeal like scalded piggies going up and down when it's hot, and they're generally prone to failure. Either the switch (easy, I had that issue) or the regulator. ($1000+ job)

The windows are silent in operation. If you are getting noise then I would think you would need to do some window regulator maintenance.

It's the rubber seals between the glass. You're lucky you don't have that issue, it's very common.

Nice shots.

I'd rather have an 850 or s70 though, personal preference. I like sedans.
