Default Noob from Central Florida.

Hi guys, My name is Jesse, I'm 16, I'm from central Florida, and I drive a 1994 850 sedan. N/A, Autotragic.

it was owned for many months by an 18 year old girl that couldn't change a light bulb to save her life, so it was obviously ran to the ground those few months.

as for me.

I enjoy everything about vehicles, from low riders with 10" rims and hop 10 foot into the air, to trucks with 10 foot tall tires and everything in between.

one thing I enjoy allot with vehicles is detailing, washing, waxing, vacuuming, cleaning in general. I can't stand a filthy vehicle. I feel I'm a perfectionist when it comes to this subject which is why me and this volvo have a love/hate relationship, the paint is not perfect, so no matter how much I wash, clay bar it, wax it, anything, I can't get it perfect, it drives me crazy every time I walk by it.

but anyways, onto the pictures.









It's nothing special, it's got 101 problems, but it get's us from point A to B with no hickups so it's a great car to me.

Sorry for wall of text and random subjects thrown about, but I wanted to do a half proper introduction. so there it is.

Welcome to the forum. For a 17 year old car, it looks very good. I do recommend getting some show room new for those bumpers though. It will make the car look a lot better.

Thanks, where can I find this "show room new" at?

it doesn't look bad from a distance, but if you get up close you can see the paint is showing it's age. and the roof and trunk lid looks like someone was welding with a stick welder above it, theres little black dots allover the roof and trunk lid. the hood is fine though? odd.

Also where would be the best place to look for trim? the driver side front/rear door trim is going to crap. the driver door trim is gone, and the rear driver side door trim is wadding up where the rear door meets the front door. Idk why?

Thank you, I've actually been a member for a while but just now getting around to introducing myself.

also, do all the rear bumpers on these cars have that gap like mine? As far as I know this car has never been rear ended or backed into anything before.

I'm in Auburndale, Pretty much dead center between Orlando and Tampa, Tiny bit closer to Tampa..

If you think you see me just look for the missing trim on the driver door, if it's gone that's me, I may or may not be in it though, it's still my mom's DD.

I will keep an eye out for it. But there is alot of the same cars around me here in Orlando.
If you see me you will know it. There is 3 Yellows in the area but mine is the only manual tranny one. Also I am the only one lowered.

Check ebay for the trim. That's where we found replacement for my sons 96 850. Paint looks pretty good, especially for a car as old as yours.
