New to the forum...grew up in a Volvo!
Hey guys!
I'm Jake from NC. I started out in a '78 Chevy Monte Carlo, then drove a Honda Civic (MPGs!), and I currently have a '97 S90. Got it in Fall '06, put right at 40,000 miles on it to date for a total of 171,000. The Volvo has, by far, been the best car. Love the car to pieces, and with my 1hr commute I love the comfort. Can't ask for better handling and performance. The Volvo I grew up in is my mom's '88 740 GLE. Bought in '98 with 158,000 on it. Now has 370,000! I'd drive it anywhere anytime! [8D] I'm looking at a '93 850 5spd. Just over 100k...Looks and runs great! Updates on that after I get it. (Which should be this week) Love to have any comments or questions thrown my way. I'm fairly knowledgeable...just inexperienced. So I'll be asking questions too!
Nice to meet everybody! Keep spreading that Volvo love!

Welcome to the forum.
Make sure to follow scheduled maintenance to keep your Volvo serving you for a long time. For technical questions, post them either in the vehicle-specific forums or General Volvo Chat.
Good luck,
JPN
