Plenty of us old farts still around!
My CB7 got totaled by some jackass back in December, though. I now have a '15 CR-Z, '06 CTS-V, and '09 Fit with 390,000 miles on it (desperately hoping someone will be willing to trade me a 1st gen Miata for it! )
Definitely post some pics of the Volvos! I've been considering ditching my CTS-V in favor of a clean V70 R (though losing 3 cylinders and 100hp would hurt a little.) I love Volvos.

I don't miss my cb7 lol. I moved on to better cars in my eyes. It was a good car to learn from though. Great community here and I have met a bunch of guys who I can consider my friends even though I've never met face to face to some. We all had our disagreements at some point, but looking at it now, I'm still glad I can pop in and say whats up to those who are still here.

I definitely miss mine. Technically, I haven't had a CB7 since... wow... since you joined! I only drove it for a few weeks in 2008 until it went down for good. I don't know if I'll ever get another, as any other won't be the same as mine. I had a 2nd one at one time, and I never got attached to it. Bummed me out when I wrecked it, but I never felt the way about that car as I did about my 92 LX.

Got any pics of the Volvos?

Try walking like that for a few weeks and see if your shoes wear funny! (hint: they will.)

I guess technically I'm old by my join date...since I was pretty much a kid when I joined. I only recently started getting somewhat serious about modding.
Definitely pics of the Volvo. I've been looking at them recently too. They would make awesome sleepers. Those and a modded Prius. Nobody would see that coming.

If I ever do get an S60R or V70R, I'm calling on you for help!
My fiancee's mom had a 98 S70, and just upgraded to a newer S60 (haven't seen that yet.) The S70's seats were absolute heaven.
I really do love Volvo. Total unpretentious quality. Performance isn't quite on par with the other big Euros... but there's just something about Volvos of any year. All the others seem like they're trying too hard to be fancy, high quality cars. Brands like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes Benz definitely succeed... but they never cease reminding you how fancy they are. Volvo just IS. Even in the Ford years (which is pretty much anything even remotely relevant today in a non-"retro" sense), they were just put together well. Volvo is the Chuck Norris in a world full of John Cenas.

sonik, the Japanese mod Priuses as much as anything else, it seems. These last couple generations aren't bad looking cars either, imo. It's the owners that annoy me.
