well, considering the volvo is my only car...lol. i work at a uhaul dealership so i can drive the trucks if i want...lol

 

That's awesome....i hotwired a uhaul once down in South Carolina....um, wait....no i didn't.

 

lol....i wouldnt care if ya did anyways. not my area down there. BUT im buying me another ovlov....a '76 244Dl with a 9month old rebuilt 3speed auto. i'm picking it up tomorrow and gotta do some work on it to make it my daily driver and park Guido(he's not inspected) but the 76 is...lol. a white 76 244 with LOTS of surface rust...NEED A NAME FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!

 

00 honduh ****vic si with fully built, sleeved, boosted h22 (2.2l dohc vtec from preludes) accompanied by a h.o. t3/t67. just got it all together and hope to have some numbers very soon. expecting a little over 700whp, and my recently aquired 96 850T.

 

hmm.....white....rusted out......244......is it a wagon or sedan? I'll have to think about it for awhile....I'm thinking Margret or Hector though.....

Guido isn't inspected? OH! That's right....emissions! lol, we don't have emissions testing in MN anymore. The rust usually retires the cars around here quicker than the engines. HA HA!........good luck with that BTW.

 

he passed emissions cuz he was exempt. yea, the 76 is a sedan and im thinking Hector sounds like a good one to me. THANKS AGAIN DOOD!!!! lol

 

lol...what can i say? I have a way with car names.....

speaking of which...I finaly got Geeves on-line...

im setting up a cardomain account to show off Guido and Hector. i also have a 79 b21 and 3speed suto tranny if anyone is interested.

 

Apart from my 940...

1985-244 GLE (recently sold, we are three in the house with five cars and the old guy wasn't getting any action, so we gave it to someone that could)
1982-242

2002-Land Rover Range Rover 4.6HSE
1999-Toyota Tacoma 2WD Pre-Runner

and if I play my cards right... a BMW M3 2002... but that is pending!!

 

I've owned the Following...

1997 Volvo 850 GLT...drove it till it hit 150000 miles
2002 Toyota Highlander
2004 GMC Envoy

I now drive the Following....

2006 Jeep Commander(Yea it's got a HEMI)
2002 Volvo S80 T-6(oh yea baby)

 

My car: 2001 Volvo S60
Dad's car: 2001 Mercedes C240
Mom's car: 2003 Ford Taurus

 

My wife drives a 2006 Jeep Liberty Renegade. She custom ordered it with the 6 speed manual trans instead of the highly uninspired 4 speed auto, which has made all the difference. Incredible offroader right out of the box.

 

At work in Chicago, I used to drive:

1. '92 Ford Aerostar, 4-speed (Beaten up).
2. '92 For F-350 Custom, 3-speed (Neglected)
3. '94 Ford F-150 XL, 4-speed (Abused).
4. '96 Suzuki Forenza (Korean OEM, Daewoo. Wouldn't even think of buying in my dream).

During my first college days:
1. '87 Ford Escort GL (The worst car I've ever driven; lots of problems especially in the CFI (Central Fuel Injection) and the ignition module & fuel vapour in the fuel line, killing the engine in hot climate).
2. '88 Honda Accord LX-i 2.0L (Excellent car with following problems):
Poor brakes, poor clutch, 12-valve instead of 16, lack of VTEC, poor acceleration if loaded.

Rented:
1. '00 Toyota Camry (Well made car with boring exterior that resembled A/C vents).
2. '06 Mazda 6 (named Mazda Atenza in Japan). The best car I've driven so far, with the worst gas mileage. Nicely designed transmission, suspension & steering feel & interior. The 4 banger was a shame in terms of fuel consumption.

i drive a volvo truck when i am working, i also drive my wife round the bend.

 

Along with my 99 Volvo V70 Turbo (my wife's primary car), I usually drive my 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse (which I actually bought brand-new while in college).

In the past, I've also owned a 2001 VW Jetta VR6, a 2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder (I loved that car and would love to get another one), an 88 Ford Mustang, an 83? Chevy Cavalier and an 83? Mercury Capri.

 

Well, not currently, but I used to drive a 1992 GMC Typhoon. [8D]It's currently riding the jackstands in the garage getting some much needed TLC. I just need to put everything back together and start her up. Not to put our 850GLT down, but it'll be nice to get behind the wheel of a car pushing some real boost (14.7psi) with some real torque at all four wheels (AWD, 350 ft.lbs.)

I think it's finally time to make time to finish her up and get her on the road.

 

I used to drive 1999 Mitsubishi Galant

 

I also own a 550awhp Subaru WRX STi and a 1987 Buick Grand National. The 850 T5 is the bland one in my garage.

Nice collection. The 850 T5may be the bland one, but at least it's still got a turbo like the rest... so it's not completely left out of the fun. Got pics of the STi? My wife loves them and wants to get one, they are just way out of our price range right now.
