Alright, I would like it to be known that there is an Rx Bandits concert in Chicago on Aug. 6th and again in Minn on the 9th... I would really like to see RxB as I am a huge fan, and I know the other guy from Cleveland is a ska fan so he would most likely be down to see that show. I don't know about y'alls taste in music but a Volvo meet up/ concert event would be pretty kick ***. These are my thoughts, do with them what you'd like.

Oh yeah, that would seem a bit hectic. Maybe we should do it the weekend after the 15th? I don't know, it doesn't really matter to me as pretty much any weekend in August works.

It looks like the the 8th works best.... 850tony, what running around do you need to do? Can the tasks be made into Volvo cruses? We really don't mind driving around

True. I wouldn't mind either. It seems like the 8th does work the best.

HAHAHA. That would be funny. Just a fleet of Volvo's waiting outside for him and then following him everywhere.

I totally want to do this and get a ton of pictures and video. It's hard around here finding people who would appreciate Volvos.

Went to a pizza place yesterday where a friend was waiting for me. I had to pop my hood to put a nipple back on my turbo tree after running some tests. Some dude with a girl walks by about 30 feet from us and says "Hey, nice volvo".

My friend and I had a laugh later about it because we couldn't tell whether or not to take him seriously. The whole time eating we were pondering this question. lol. I have a feeling it was sarcastic because he looked like a punk but there was no sarcastic tone in his voice.

We took it as sarcasm but there was really no need for it. I know the guy thinks I was trying to show off my motor but I was just doing maintenance.

See the kind of sh*t I have to put up with here in St. Louis?

No big deal, I was leaving Best Buy the other day and noticed a couple of kids driving what appeared to their mommy's suv and snickering at my car. I wanted to stop my car and bitch them out, they probably had no idea what kind of car it was or even the fact that it could kick their suv's hass.

No dude, you just have a super clean killer Volvo. I think he was being honest with you, nice Volvo. So about that date change, I kind of need to know soon if we are going to switch it back to the 8th or what? If so then I need to take time off early so the few of us from Cleveland can go to that concert but if not then that changes things.

I bet St. Louis has all your cities beat in # of ricers!!!
Nothing to be proud of tho, I don't know why I put so many !s.

Just yesterday I saw a nissan altima, an older one (2000ish) not the newer ones with the beefed up engines, sporting black flames, a queer body kit, and he f*cking tore some of his bumper off so you can see his radiator. Not an intercooler, an ugly old rusted radiator. And I know it wasn't the result of an accident because it was a clean cut throught the bumper. He was cruising at 30 mph in a 40 mph zone. He was either trying to flaunt his whip or that was his top speed, not sure.

We have a good number of ricers here too, a lot of hondas with cut off springs and like you said some lame *** body kit. A lot of Acura Integras, I hate those cars so much. Probably his top speed.

Yes, there will be food. Most likely whatever you have going on is not going to be as much fun as this.
