What else does everyone drive besides the Volvo??

Everyone knows I don't own one yet.
But here is what I own.
1987 Ford Mustang 5.0
1995 Chevy Barretta (wifes car) Not by choice but was a GREAT DEAL
1988 Dadge Ram Vam (Driving all the kids around)
1992 Mercury Grad Marques (Trying to sell)

I used to drive my dad's 1987 Nissan Stanza until it exploded.

This is what the family owns:
2000 Nissan Maxima GLE
2006 Mercedes ML350
1999 Volvo S80 T6

a golf cart
and a 91 ford contour with no interior lights that shook when u turned and the accelerator got stuck on a highway and almost killed me

What about your '99 S70 Turbo?

i used to drive a 1987 pontiac fiero till it crapped out, hence me getting a s60. i also ride a yamaha 2004 r6.

I have a mountain bike.

Drive the daughters 2000 Toyota Camry, my 1996 Chevy Tahoe, my 2000 Ranger R83 bassboat, my wifes 2004 Chevy Impala and soon will be driving my dads 1977 Chevy Corvette (each grandchild gets to have it for 3 years to drive) and there's no way I'm going to have a Vette in the garage and not drive it some!!

i drove my mom and dads volvos for years...i currently have an assortment of dodges, and a bmw...

What a Frankenstein car huh?

I had to replace the clutch in one twice in 2 years.

car was only two years younger than i was. but it was very tool friendly. learned how to disect a car's electrical system and it's the car i learned how to replace brakes(rotors, pads, calipers). it was a good starting car.

They really werent all that bad I just got stuck working on the same one through 3 different owners.

You have no idea of an electrical system until you meet up with Lord Lucas, the Duke of Darkness!! Get hold of an old British auto and you will soon learn! My 1965 Healey has a whopping two fuses................that's right.........two 20 amp fuses for the entire electrical system!

i agree with fire2...the intrepid wont hang with much...


No it will not. :) Not to mention its a Dodge.

But the funny thing lately is that almost all the intrepids I see are blowing oil out the tail pipe. Valve seals I assume.

Prior to the Accord...97 Saab 9000!!!! (wifey poo lets me drive the S90 only when it needs washed or gassed up.....(yea, I'm whipped)

S90

My boyfriends '99 Jetta which is a hunk of junk/bordering on lemon from what I have seen. Spends more time in the repair shop...

Crummy brakes and a slow start. Blech!

(He borrows my V40 every chance he gets!)

Besides the S60 2.5T, we have a 2002 Infiniti G20, which my wife drives most often. On order is a 2006 Lexus IS250 (due for delivery the end of February) which I will drive and my wife will drive the S60.

either of my parents Volvo's. 2000 S80 and a 200? XC70

No volvo... but a 2000 audi a4 1.8TQ and a 1995 1le Camaro Z28

And zigzag, I also own a mountain bike (and a road bike!)

Sort of off topic, but somebody in this thread mentioned chipping an 850... what does a chip do for the T5? In the audi world... a chip on our 1.8 turbo gives around 55 hp and up to 80 - 90 lbs of torque. Volvos see any similar gains? Already start with 247 hp or something though... so I think the volvo's 2.3 is tuned more than the audi's 1.8 -- 247 hp vs 150 hp [:@]

In about 7 months my other ride will be either a GS or KZ from ~1980. Can't wait till I can buy one!!

well my 740 is under construction at the moment, so i drive my mom's 940, the neighbours tiny!!! ford fiesta, but i also have a '92 mod suzuki GSX-R 750, a porsche 944 (also under construction) and an old bus wich is going to be a campingbus for those track weekend outings.

by the way headshok2002, you might want to try this site http://www.audituning.com/ for audi chips. look around his site, you might find some dip to go with the chips too.. :p

My other ride is a 2004 Nissan Quest (family truckster).

I got rid of my 99 Maxima when I got the Company Car.

I have an 05 wrx wagon, my dad has an 06 s60r and my mom has an 04 rx330

I'm with ZIGZAG.

I've got an '00 Cannondale Jekyll 900SX w/ lots of upgrades. That's what I ride when I'm not at work or in my car.

Our main mode of transportation is a 96 Chyrsler T&C minivan. My wife drives a 2000 Toyota Corolla(shes a teacher, very practical), while I have a 95 Mustang GT Convertible( with the last of the 5.0's) to play with. I haven't put my v70 in the fleet yet, still ironing off a few issues.

issues such as?

I had a toyota celica gt4 running at 350bhp, just sold it as i need some extra cash.
was a joy to drive though, a true beast.

My main driver is a 87 IROC-Z camaro. Wife drives the wagon.

Creaking steering wheel, broken tilt/telescoping lever, checking the timing belt to see if the lying car dealer really changed it like he sworn on his mothers grave(I don't think he every had a mother) that he did, replacing the fuel filter, etc. The worst thing is letting my kids ride in it, they are like pigpen from the Snoppy cartoon. I've had to do some extra work around the house as a punishment for buying another car that its been on the back burner. Soon, soon.

I drive my mother-in-laws Expedition sometimes, and I used to sometimes drive my wife's X-terra, before we traded it in on a s80. Personally, I cannot stand SUVs. I had to get her the s80 cause she wanted my 850, and I sure didn't want the X-terra. Not that a X-terra is a bad vehicle, but like I just said, I hate SUVs.

I drive a full out 2002 s40, wife drives a 2001 Cross Country, I also have a 1991 Mazda 626 GT hatch and a 1992 Mazda B2200 pickup and finally a 1970 Triumph Bonneville.

My wife actually gets the V70. I've got '06 Civic EX.

i have a 97 3000gt VR-4 and a probe GT thats (pure drag) a 00 m3 and my pride 00 S80 T6 but I'm selling my VR-4

What kind of Numbers you running with the Probe?
What year is the Probe?

its a 93 gt but it gutted. at first i had it all motor just with a built up klze then i went on with i turbo kit. all motor i got a 13.1 out of it here in utah. i have not ran it with the turbo kit yet just have not had the time.

I'm an equal opportunity vehiclulist. I've got one from all three regions. My 240 wagon (which needs love and attention) my chevy cavalier (which needs less love and attention) and my Toyota 4Runner (which needs no love or attention).

85 Volvo 740 turbo (just picked it up for $800 all she needs is a headgasket and couple tires) been used and abused like many other cars out there. with a little tlc should be good to go as far as a secondary family car.

98 Buick Regal GS (all stock but gotta love that 3.8 with supercharger).

05 HD 883 Sportster this bike is my new little hot rod (who can argue with 55-60 mpg) its got a few mods here and there and am planning on a 1250cc big bore kit sometime this next winter. (now all i need is some 04+ buell xb12 heads and the big bore kit!)

well, considering the volvo is my only car...lol. i work at a uhaul dealership so i can drive the trucks if i want...lol

That's awesome....i hotwired a uhaul once down in South Carolina....um, wait....no i didn't.

lol....i wouldnt care if ya did anyways. not my area down there. BUT im buying me another ovlov....a '76 244Dl with a 9month old rebuilt 3speed auto. i'm picking it up tomorrow and gotta do some work on it to make it my daily driver and park Guido(he's not inspected) but the 76 is...lol. a white 76 244 with LOTS of surface rust...NEED A NAME FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!

00 honduh ****vic si with fully built, sleeved, boosted h22 (2.2l dohc vtec from preludes) accompanied by a h.o. t3/t67. just got it all together and hope to have some numbers very soon. expecting a little over 700whp, and my recently aquired 96 850T.

hmm.....white....rusted out......244......is it a wagon or sedan? I'll have to think about it for awhile....I'm thinking Margret or Hector though.....

Guido isn't inspected? OH! That's right....emissions! lol, we don't have emissions testing in MN anymore. The rust usually retires the cars around here quicker than the engines. HA HA!........good luck with that BTW.

he passed emissions cuz he was exempt. yea, the 76 is a sedan and im thinking Hector sounds like a good one to me. THANKS AGAIN DOOD!!!! lol

lol...what can i say? I have a way with car names.....

speaking of which...I finaly got Geeves on-line...

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2381688

im setting up a cardomain account to show off Guido and Hector. i also have a 79 b21 and 3speed suto tranny if anyone is interested.

Apart from my 940...

1985-244 GLE (recently sold, we are three in the house with five cars and the old guy wasn't getting any action, so we gave it to someone that could)
1982-242

2002-Land Rover Range Rover 4.6HSE
1999-Toyota Tacoma 2WD Pre-Runner

and if I play my cards right... a BMW M3 2002... but that is pending!!

I've owned the Following...

1997 Volvo 850 GLT...drove it till it hit 150000 miles
2002 Toyota Highlander
2004 GMC Envoy

I now drive the Following....

2006 Jeep Commander(Yea it's got a HEMI)
2002 Volvo S80 T-6(oh yea baby)

My car: 2001 Volvo S60
Dad's car: 2001 Mercedes C240
Mom's car: 2003 Ford Taurus

My wife drives a 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade. She custom ordered it with the 6 speed manual trans instead of the highly uninspired 4 speed auto, which has made all the difference. Incredible offroader right out of the box.

At work in Chicago, I used to drive:

1. '92 Ford Aerostar, 4-speed (Beaten up).
2. '92 For F-350 Custom, 3-speed (Neglected)
3. '94 Ford F-150 XL, 4-speed (Abused).
4. '96 Suzuki Forenza (Korean OEM, Daewoo. Wouldn't even think of buying in my dream).

During my first college days:
1. '87 Ford Escort GL (The worst car I've ever driven; lots of problems especially in the CFI (Central Fuel Injection) and the ignition module & fuel vapour in the fuel line, killing the engine in hot climate).
2. '88 Honda Accord LX-i 2.0L (Excellent car with following problems):
Poor brakes, poor clutch, 12-valve instead of 16, lack of VTEC, poor acceleration if loaded.

Rented:
1. '00 Toyota Camry (Well made car with boring exterior that resembled A/C vents).
2. '06 Mazda 6 (named Mazda Atenza in Japan). The best car I've driven so far, with the worst gas mileage. Nicely designed transmission, suspension & steering feel & interior. The 4 banger was a shame in terms of fuel consumption.

i drive a volvo truck when i am working, i also drive my wife round the bend.

Along with my 99 Volvo V70 Turbo (my wife's primary car), I usually drive my 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse (which I actually bought brand-new while in college).

In the past, I've also owned a 2001 VW Jetta VR6, a 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder (I loved that car and would love to get another one), an 88 Ford Mustang, an 83? Chevy Cavalier and an 83? Mercury Capri.

Well, not currently, but I used to drive a 1992 GMC Typhoon. [8D]It's currently riding the jackstands in the garage getting some much needed TLC. I just need to put everything back together and start her up. Not to put our 850GLT down, but it'll be nice to get behind the wheel of a car pushing some real boost (14.7psi) with some real torque at all four wheels (AWD, 350 ft.lbs.)

I think it's finally time to make time to finish her up and get her on the road. :)

I used to drive 1999 Mitsubishi Galant

I also own a 550awhp Subaru WRX STi and a 1987 Buick Grand National. The 850 T5 is the bland one in my garage.

Nice collection. :DThe 850 T5may be the bland one, but at least it's still got a turbo like the rest... so it's not completely left out of the fun. Got pics of the STi? My wife loves them and wants to get one, they are just way out of our price range right now.
