hey everybody. just picked up a volvo S70 (non turbo ) pretty clean paint, body, and interior. my civic si got stolen 2 months ago, kinda tried of racing around and weekly night car meets. my parents co-worker was selling her volvo for really cheap, so i ended up getting it. already has some problems, but i think im gonna fix it up, andget the turbo model.











ya ya i know i took off the hubcaps. im diggin the black on black look.

 

Greetings from Yokohama, Japan.

Glad you've found a nice Volvo. Not to worry about the problems too much, there seem to be a few experts on this forum who are privy to S70. I'm an 850 driver and am not knowledgeable on S70, though they seem similar to 850.

Be sure to visit the S70 forum for technical questions/answers.

Good luck,

lol awesome. my dad was stationed in Okinawa, JPN for 4 years. we visited mainland a few times. i wanna go back so bad. how big is the euro scene over there?

 

Hello again,

>i wanna go back so bad.
I wanna get out so bad[8D].

Okinawa used to be an independent kingdom, until the main islanders raped the peaceful island (then it was raped both by the main islanders & U.S during the WW-II). I visited Okinawa in July 2000 and loved its people, landscape & food, but the climate didn't match my taste, as I always liked cooler climate.

Euro scene in cars? Many tend to go for BMW or Mercedes, and Volvo & Saab are somewhat minorities and are considered upper middle-class' purchases. Lately, though, some people are switching from German to Japanese (Lexus), as German cars seem to develop more problems and people in Japan are extremely @n@l when it comes to product quality & reliability. Strangely, there are still good market for French & Italian cars, such as Peugeot & Alfa-Romeo.

I'm glad you liked Japan. The problem is it's too far away & expensive forpeople in the Western countriesto visit.

Regards,


Kanji/JPN
