As i mentioned i was gonna work on my older brothers $300 turbo volvo. It ran like total ---- so I could see why it was only $300. With a little elbow grease, i managed to make it run smooth and haul a decent amount of ***. Probably has a nice 170-190whp. Not bad for $300. Oh yeah we realized that we had been driving around in his car all day with a squirrel residing in the passenger fender. With a little ether (to slow him down) and 2 leather gloves on my hand I was able to grab it out by it's tail. City squirrel is now country squirrel. It won't last long around these parts.

My volvo is really growing on me. I think it's a keeper.

nice man! Couldnt you have just jb-welded that radiator neck back on and saved a couple hundred bucks?

I love getting decent cars for $500. I just got a 95 jeep cherokee for $500. I love it now that I've cleaned it up and got some new tires on it and changed the oil, air filter, plugs, pcv system and got my cruise working again. overall I have spent about $1100 on a very reliable daily driver that will be great when it ices for a few days this season and has 4wd and power everything. Oh yea, its only an extra $20 every 6 months on my insurance
