Isn't what that women saying basically the same thing that George Bush has been saing since 9/11 albeit his at a much slower and easier to understand pace than her's?

It has always been my belief that the Democratic party leadership is playing politics with the truth of what perils our nation faces from these radical muslim extremists.

The insanity of the liberal media not reporting the distaste of people of middle eastern descent expressing anger toward the muslim extremists like this woman has done, but focusing on reporting the mistakes of the US military is not only morally and intellectually reprehensible but has given this enemy of peace hope.

Amen man.

I'm so sorry to hear this Pras. I can kind of relate.. my project car is in a similar situation. $10k in parts.. its runs worse than it did.. and actually doesn't run sans the dead alternator in a garage in the northeast. I wonder how much of an ordeal it would be to get a used 850 turbo motor to throw in there?

Down over a 100 posts, from my whopping 560 posts or something haha.

I also noticed that my post count changes everytime I post, and not in the correct direction.

Mine's gone and I got an error message when i went to that link.

heh get it. No but I didn't get an email, but I'll email you anyway.

Sweet dude. A lttle TLC man, looks like a good car to work with.

Looks good.

5% tint? i can't tell from those angles?

I was thinking the same thing, it came with the tint so I don't know. Its so dark you can't see anything in the back windows. The fronts are a little lighter, but still dark.

Just took it now, so its a bit dark.

Good to see the recovery was quick, Alex. Silver on black is my favorite color combination.

Sell me your steering wheel!

Sure, tell you what we'll trade cars up straight. haha. No? Please?

If you're not really looking to mod it, I would just tell you to pick up the 2000 R dual exhaust from the dealer as it only runs around $300 dollars.

Yeah that's what I'm probably going to do. I had grand plans with the T5 to do a dual outlet. I had the bumper on, just didn't have the funds.

Thanks guys for the comments!

Yep, it has the black interior with aluminum trim. Does not have the Dolby, and I have to say that I think the SC-900 sounds worse than the SC-816.. which I thought sounded pretty good for a stock unit. But still not bad.

Yeah this car was on ebay for a couple of weeks. The guy put allot into it, as did the previous owner. It has:

New front shocks (OEM)

New CV boots both sides

New windshield

New downpipe/CAT (aftermarket.. blah!)

New floormats (R emblem)

New from bumper skin

New Rear calipers, rotors, pads (OEM)

New from rotors, pads (aftermarket)

New endlinks

New timing belt, tensioner, H2O pump @ 102k

It was pretty well cared for, not one ding on the body, just on the rear bumper.

The T-5 could be crushed by now for all I know, so no I didn't buy it back.

Did your side marker get messed up?

One of the clippies on the passenger side is broken, so they put it in backwards to keep it from faling out. "yay"

Did your side marker get messed up?

The R is awd, can't just swap it over, wish I could man.

so what parts are you swappin' over?

The jewels of course, but I have some parts that I'll be selling here in a week or two. I've held off annoucning the parts until I have the time to ship them out.

time for a manual swap

haha, arrrgh. That was the first thing I thought of when I was driving home from NY. Then I was like "no, no, no.. wait.. no you can't afford it!"

trade your mom!

I tried, she wouldn't let go of it. She loves that car.

My T5 couldn't be replaced, but here is my new Rrrrrrrr. I picked it up in poughkeepsie, NY a week ago. Was well taken cared for, a laundry list on replaced items. I'll be driving this back to SoCal next week:

Here is picture of my mom's '98 V70R. We've had it since new:

If the T5 was still alive, it would have liked being there, and so would I. Oh.. and Pras's car is hot.

Ok, this is by far the most awesomest bestest thing in the world.

thats true through the corn fields but when you get close to civilization you should find 93 no prob and even in some places 94

It's pretty tough to find. I've been back and forth XC 4 times and it seems more or less west of IL there's pretty much 91 oct. In CA we have 91 oct max.

Save now, pay big later. Its worth putting premium in. 87 is like Micky'Ds, makes you fart and you feel like stuff.

Pretty much west of Chicago premium is 91 octane. Some chip software is designed to run on 93, maybe that's what he is worried about.

Come on some of us spend more on beer in a weekend than a 1 year membership costs!!!!

Hell some us spend more in an afternoon on beer. But yes well put.. this the cheapest and only interactive volvo repair manual.

So I take it no drilling needed since it says the only required tools are a socket wrench?

Added to the list of "must have's."

Very nice. I think that's still my favorite color on the R's.

Sweet, just when I leave we get a good FWD turnout in a NE meet. Pics look good Phil, keep 'em coming!

Is that rear park assist on your V70? Was that aftermarket or factory optional?

In the article, there is no mention of an AWD version. If I remember correctly the concept was AWD with a 260 bhp engine. Let's hope they will in fact release an AWD version.

name one good reason Alex would return to the yeast coast?

Soooo done with the Rust Coast. Thinking of winter makes me shudder.

I've got some video in need of editing. Of course the battery died half-way through the twisties on our drive. Later probably than sooner as I move at the speed of molasses on these things.
