Default interesting first day

Having owned and nursed a 96 Audi and then a beater Grand Am, I had a hard time choosing my Volvo, but my 80-year-old dad wanted to give me some money and see me get something nice with it before he died. Came here all excited--first day with a great Volvo to drive. I guess snobbery comes from all corners. I thought this site was for lovers of all Volvos. Like I added to my first post, outta here.

I don't get on the forums until at night because I have a day job. Welcome to the forum though.

Default Apologies to All

I'm at work, too, so I understand. I just saw that people read and replied to other new posts and figured I turned readers off with a newer car or something. Like I said, I'm new to this and was so psyched on my first day and then disappointed when I thought I offended everyone and got ignored.

Thanks again. I'm going to search for the right plast to post a question about the "hardness" of the suspension.

I'm new to this forum as well, but most forums follow a basic forumula.

20/80. 20 percent of the members form 80 percent of the content. Not true for all forums, but given the nature of the internet, its usually true.

It's best to slowly integrate and learn your peers, rather then burst in.

Welcome.

Is he crying because people flamed him? I'm confused.
