Early Performance Addiction = What Did Your Rents Drive

[Chrisonfire]

My parents have always driven rice just beacuse its cheaper for them to get parts for and they haven't had very good luck with domestic cars.

Mom and dad always had some decent cars. Dad picked up a volvo when he became "dad" though. Then my mom got an 88 740 wagon with an m46. Black leather, blue pearl paint. My god I miss that thing. Mom blew the motor, dad built the motor and got mom a minivan. Dad put an exhaust on the 740, extra boost (out the wazoo) and did some suspension goodies. He was in the game a longgggggg time ago He sold his wagon to somebody on the boards actually (brickboard I think).

Luminas ? The first car I remember my pappy owning was a 1959 544, red. I'm a Volvo legacy don't you know. He now has a '70 datsun 240Z, it flies and body is redone. His pet is the light metallic blue 1977 Avanti, totally ground up restore. Awesome car, kind of a Frankenstein monster, that screams. Corvette chassis, Studebaker, AM General, Ford master cylinder, I think this is true. Quite the interior, looks like an aircraft inside with the slider controls and red dash lights.

[850 R power]

i'm the first in my family that drives a volvo,parents drove/drive mainly french cars(comfort)

my first taste of power was in an citroen cx turbo 2,a beautifull car by the way,going on holliday to france with 160 kmh and floating

i was sad to see it go.after that a bx,xantia and now he's thinking about the C5,so a bit of the cx returns

rest of the family:citroen,toyboata,golf,opel,huy(could)ya,everybody likes my car even though it's 12 years old.

greets,walter

My parents bought there first Volvo a week before I was born, an 85 245 GLT. Before this they always had Monte Carlos, and Cutlass's. had the 245 until 1990 when they bought a 90 Caprice wagon., For a short time my dad had a 84 740(784 muahhah) with a 5.0 ford. Also, from 1988-1997 my brother worked as a volvo tech, and always had a volvo demo and was given a 95 T-5R as a demo (no one around here wanted a yellow ha ha, but, thats when it became my dream for one) whatever happened to that car i will never know. But, at this time my parents also started buying Toyota's until 2001 when my dad decided to buy a 1998 C70 T-5M which was the year i started driving...and i totally fell in love with the car, until for some reason he just out of nowhere traded it for a subaru (which atleast hes now kicking himself for after driving my cars). My mother also wants to get rid of her shit Hyundai santa fe for another 245, and my dad is probably gonna take my S70 when his Subaru dies, which is forthcoming..as it is a rot box at 4 years old, and knocks more then any boxter ever, and the warranty is now up.

[Jippi 855 GLT]

[MilesC70]

First in the Fam to drive a Volvo. Have to admit, I was seduced by the C70's sexiness, then I stopped and almost stuff myself when I found out it was a Volvo.

Test drove it and bought it on the spot!

[RZT5]

in 93 when i was 8 my family moved to spain and we bought a 1986 manual BMW 535. This was the car that started it all for me. I havent stopped thinking about cars and going fast since the day we bought it. That car was the last non volvo they ever bought though, so I checked volvos as the cars my parents drove.

car history if you wanna read it:

dad's parents got him a brand new late 60's malibu as his first car, after that he only bought VW's and a retired army willys jeep untill around the time i was born. at that time my parents were into japanese economy cars and owned a few hondas and toyotas. Then they bought the bimmer listed above and after that nothing but volvos, and they are still driving volvos. They have never been into performance in cars, and think it is a total waste of time and money to modify them. However, my mom can appreciate a nice car, she says she still misses her 535.

mom actually had one of these (68 nova!!!) haha no joke

yeah but did it look like that? my memories of the nova were they were the only cars that consistently crabbed down the road.

My dad is a big fan of Jaguar....he's had two in the past....but they are mechanical nightmares.

now he's got a Lexus, which is my Mom's of course....been working without a hitch for years.....he drives his trusty old Toyota Previa since he's a printer and has lots of deliveries and boxes to haul around.

sister drives a 99.5 Pathfinder LE....has 250k miles on it and still running strong

i have the Volvo, and had a Maxima.

[greenvolvopower]

1966 Buick Wildcat custom.

Totally one of my favorite cars evar! Great engine in that particular model and not too big.

dad had a bandit edition trans am, also had a white one. Then he started working on VWs and started racing mini stock in a vw bug. Mom had a mustang iirc.
