I wanted something reliable, safe and stylish. Cause just being a married guy with kids doesn't mean I have to drive something boring. I'm still boosted. Not to mention being one of the safest cars on the road.

lol, I kinda like the way they look. Always kinda had a thing for them, but never enough to go out and buy one.

My first turbo was from a Volvo. I like them. I can't find the vid, but SloS13 has them I know of the "Death Wagon" Volvo. Man, that car was cool.


P.S. That Volvo avatar is pretty sweet.

Nice. Every time I see one of those I like 'em more and more. Are replacement parts expensive? How long do the clutches last?

My ex's folks had a matching pair of 98 S70's, I really like the cars but i remember them being expensive as ---- for parts. Maybe that's cuz they were new at the time

Parts are actually pretty cheap. Everything I bought so far was brand new either actual Volvo or some german made *** ----. Check out FCPgroton for replacement parts. Now aftermarket parts are kinda pricey since China hasn't hit the volvo market yet. lol. Oh they have a goofy *** 5x108 bolt pattern but Volvo has a nice oem wheel selection to pick from. I'm not looking to go all out as I still want to keep it relatively stock enginewise. Turbo engines are usually between $500-1000 from all I've seen.
