Hello everyone! My real name is Stacey and I just bought my first Volvo back in May after graduating from IUPUI. It is a Silver 1999 S80 2.9. I absolutely love it. Especially the Backseat Driver Button (BDB), otherwise known as the Backseat Headrest Release Button (BHRB). LOL but that is just for fun. I have found so many gismos and gadgets on this car that I still have not found them all. Like Rear Fog Lights! I have never heard of Rear Fog Lights until I bought this car. LOL I am just dumbfounded with all of the features that it has. Also, I am very impressed with everyone at Volvo. I took my Volvo in for a non appointment Oil Change, and they took care of me as soon as I stepped foot in the door. They answered all of my questions and were very patient with me. They did not even haggle me when I was looking at other cars while mine was being serviced, unlike other dealerships. This dealership also had free drinks, comfy lounge chairs, Wi-Fi / DSL Internet connection, and HDTV! It made me want to buy another Volvo right then and there because of the positive experience I had. Even when I had my Dad go in with me, he got the same impression. Anyway, I have some pictures of it, they are below. Enjoy, and have an awesome day!

 

Welcome

 

Thanks S70driver! Glad to be here!

 

Hello Ooh-Wee-Poo-Wee grad. Nice looking. Have you thought about putting some aftermarket wheels on it? They would look better than the OE ones, IMO.

 

nice looking ride, enjoy your ride and welcome to the forum.

 

Yeah I am thinking about it. I have been looking at http://www.tirerack.com because they have the option of showing the wheels on your specific car, with the exact color. When it comes to wheels, I don't know what brands are good or not because I have never bought custom wheels before. I really never thought about getting custom wheels, or even fixing it up to show, until I went to the Indianapolis Truck Bash and Import Show. That was when I decided that I really wanted to really fix it up and show it, but I am still temped to show it with all of the OE. I am just not sure yet. Anyway, here are some wheels that I was considering...
