Here's my 960 delivering food for Habitat for Humanity earlier this winter. Easy job for the 960, but it's hauled a lot more. It's towed many a jetski and boat at work and it's pulled stuck cars out of the snow in the winter time. It pulled out a stuck four wheel drive Ford Ranger last winter. It's also done plenty of road trips packed to the gills with a kayak and a bike on the roof at the same time. I don't have any pictures of those times, though.

Not exactly a brick, but this is my V70 T5-M. I bought it to move my old track car from Calgary to Halifax along with a spare motor, tranny, and all of my tools since it was cheaper than renting or buying a truck. Basically the trip went like this, I flew from Halifax to Winnipeg to look at the V70, bought it, drove it to Calgary, installed a trailer hitch and wiring, drove back to Halifax with the contents of my old garage. All of that over the span of 5 days.

Now it's my 'truck' for just about everything. This is the entire black interior, including seats from a 99V70R that we stripped a few months ago. The plan is to swap everything in to my tan V70 T5. We also managed to fit the front bumper, fenders, side skirts, turbo, and some other goodies that we snagged off of that car in there. I was impressed.

This is pretty much the most I've ever hauled with mine...

The hood is from a wrecked Malibu and there's an S13 240SX driver's seat in the back as well :)
The seat is getting welded to the underside of the hood and it's going to be used as a sled in a field :cool:
 
The trip was about 45 miles (mostly highway). It wasn't great, couldn't really go over 50 mph or it would start to sway, although that had more to do with the trailer I think as it is a bit small and most of the car hangs over the back. The 960 has one of those removable hitches. Not sure if it is an original Volvo one.
