ErikS Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 So I've been a member 10 years, and my one Volvo I've had the entire time is still not where I want it to be. I lack motivation, yes, and I am to blame. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I am coming up on my 10 year anniversary in April. 17 Volvos later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackT5 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I'm coming up on 15 years, but not with the same car, although I only had my 93 850 for a short time before I got the S70. The S70 is almost where I want it to be, just needs final tuning. I've just been preoccupied with my other cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyb5 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Only 7 years as a member for me, and just passed 5 years of ownership on my wagon. It's not anywhere close to being done; that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBoy8 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 12 years and almost one month (Feb. 6th) as a member for me... and only now am I starting on the fun vroom vroom engine mods. With all the Carlisles, shens, meets, that's gone on in that time, it's been pretty good so far I guess. :') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan850-t5 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 11 years in Feb for me. Just sold the car I started with a couple weeks ago....but not to be without, I ended up buying another 850R a week later :) (Wife also has a 855R wagon as well, both are in Red) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Almost 7 for me. The red S70 isn't mine but is still in the family and I still have a ton of crap to do to it.. The XC90 was totaled by whoever bought it (found it in the local pull-a-part last summer) and the R is where I want it...Reasonably Running and recently passed emissions (somehow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruecatinat Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Think I passed 10 years in January... Had the 2000 S70M at that time, put 260,000kms on, it died and was replaced by a 2000 V70 Bought my 1997 850M in 2011, totalled it in 2014 Had a brief 1 year ownership of a 2007 S40 2.4i 5 speed, sold that Bought my 2005 V50 2.4i A/T almost 2 years ago, piling on mileage and keeping it alive Have a 1999 S70M sitting with a leaking rad while I daily my 2000 Jetta TDI Lots of Volvos with one BMW in there, can't believe it's been 10 years since I spiked a screwdriver through the oil cartridge (trying to get the filter off) in the 2000 S70 and had to create an account and figure out what to do...

Don't see how you could improve it at this point. Maybe douche it out a little? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me really wants that '99 you have... but I have no room v_v. Btw, I don't see you during my morning commutes anymore! 19 minutes ago, Yellow95 said: Maybe douche it out a little? ;) So what you're saying is...... you want him to start vaping.

The '99 needs work...it's a bit of a project but if you're looking for a manual swap donor it's almost perfect. It's with me at the office in Brampton if you ever want to take a look... I moved way out to Guelph and don't drive the wagon (my girlfriend's car now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtrooper1 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 11 yrs for me at the end of this month. 98 v70 (scrapped) 99 xc70 (sold, totaled, then rebuilt from the 98v) 98 v70r still in my garage. Still going back and forth on selling or keeping 98 s70T5 SE sold to mother in law who destroyed it. And then sold it with out telling me. And then hen a bunch of other non volvos. Currently a 2015 outback is my ride. Surprising it's been this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Riker Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I think it's unfair to say it's not where the car is where you want it to be... because these kinds of projects are never where you want them to be. It's a moving target. Totally willing to hang out and help motivate. We are doing an M66 AWD 98 wagon here for a guy in Beaumont. Say when!
