I would like to state, I love this site. I never dreamed that I would actually meet people who thought of volvos having potential. I didn't think that a meet would work in this area, but I did one anyway, back in 2005. Now Chase has taken over the "NC Crew" and I make it to meets when I can. I have met many people who have volvos and have visited volvospeed, but never stayed. Usually the reason was "I didn't like it because everyone just said 'search' to me!". With that said, I've tried to find anything to help the new member, welcome them to the site, and I also tend to get a little mad at the people who say "search!" I would say, to everyone, that they should really just try to help out the new members, make them feel wanted, since they are(as Chuck said). ---- Publicity: As far as getting our name out there, there are PLENTY of volvo drivers, if even 5% of those people liked cars, which I'm sure they do, there is a huge potential to having a good community base here at volvospeed. Let me just remind you of the old people who don't post anymore... boostjunkie burchs1 Flyby patrick Nebor :'( cRRRRazy (from what I've seen) ViperVette (not much anymore) Swedish Mike OzzyR Hagan TheDiva gattigang (i guess now over at turbobricks?) 850Brian Legbend (hardly posts with the knowledge he has) RWagin volvoamg Veneficus turboV70 Silver R orange850t Jeph430 96 t5 wagon (hardly) ifnt420 I could go on, but I think you get the idea. -Jackson
