no lie, 17 with a friggin volvo?
age: car
16: 82 AMC Concorde - Inline 5, but had a glasspack, with a hole in it >.< sounded like a wwII airplane comin up the road
17: 77 Dodge Power Wagon - 400 V8 4sp, 33" AT tires - a real beast. fouled plugs + $10 gas a DAY (back when it was .92/gal)
18: 84 Olds Firenza - 4cyl something 5sp. hatchback, ran like crap, and poor brown paint - dubbed "the turd"
19: 84 Nissan 720 Pickup - Z24 Dual-Plug 4cyl, 5sp - the exact same engine in the 280ZX, only in a pickup. when i first got it for $700, it has almost 200k miles. ran like a bat outa heck! finally got rid of it somewhere in the 600k mile range. i dont know exactly what it was, because the odometer would skip from .8 mi to .2 of the next mile, so it would add the miles. the odo read at 483k miles for 2 years
23: 96 volvo glt wags
*sigh* these kids today >.<

yah jks2.
Thanks for being old.....jk
f2h, I dont think anyone here was bashing you, personally very surprised by this information. Not many 17 year olds are in the market for volvo's. Most I know are looking for honda acura (rice).
Good work on getting yourself a great car. maybe you are "for life" eh.

Hey kids how are you doing? I have a daughter 28, a son 26 and another daughter 22. And I didn't start when I was young. I was 56 years old on Cinco de Mayo. When I was young they did not celebtrate my birthday, and now they do. I think Corona made it a holiday just fo me. Now you all should feel young.

List of cars. You guys are going to love this:
14 - 1954 Ford six cyl stick on the column
16 - 56 Chevy Bel Aire 4 door hard top 265 4 brl dual exhaust
17 - 61 Plymouth Fury (I think) 318 Push Button automatic
19 - 64 Pontiac Catalina 389 two barrel - piece of crap
22 - 69 Chevelle Malibu 350 two barrel single exhaust that would run right with the SS 396's for some reason
25 - 73 Oldsmobile Cutlas 350 4 barrel single exhaust. Should have my *** kicked for trading the Chevelle in on this!
28 - Got married wife took Cutlas and I took her 74 Mercury Capri - Cutlas had A/C Capri didn't
30 - 78 Jeep Wagoneer - I was the first to have an SUV
?? - 84 Pontiac Bonneville Station Wagon - Should have my butt kicked for trading the Jeep in on this one
?? - 66 VW Karman Ghia Convertible - Fell apart literally the bottom fell out of it.
?? - 82 Subaru GL
?? - 85 Volvo 760 Turbo Diesel
?? - 76 Jeep Cherokee Chief - Volvo would not tow the boat so I bought this for $2,000, drove it for 2 years and sold for $2,200
?? - Ford Starcraft Conversion Van - don't remember the year. Didn't like it at all
?? - 88 Toyota 4 Runner
?? - 89 Volvo 760 Intercooler
?? - 93 GMC Suburban
?? - 94 Volvo 850 Turbo
52 - 80 Porsche 911SC - They tried to tell me my Suburban was a mid-life crisis car. Guess I showed them.
55 - 98 Volvo V70 - Still have it
56 - 97 Volvo 850 R
Favorites:
1. 94 850 Turbo
2. 69 Chevelle
3 80 Porshce 911SC
4. 78 Jeep
I'm sure the R will make it into that list somewhere since it's really the same basic car as the 94 850, but not there yet.

RE: How old is everyone??
yes i too am 17 and own a volvo. unfortuneatly i did not have the option of purchasing a car as my mom "gave" (i say forced) the car on me. If i had the option, i most likely would have worked two jobs and saved up for a used 350Z or an 05 Mustang, preferably GT. however, i am still pretty content with my volvo. and my b-day is sept 26th fire, so u beat me [:@]
