Looks good. My 5.0 can get around 20-21 mpg if I dont lay into it.

I like it. I have several pictures I should post on it(my dad's 64 Impala SS and my 69 Chevelle SS). Both cars are in storage on a second floor in my dad's warehouse. They have been there for 15 years. Other priories seem to come up. The cars are not rotting away, they are in line for the restoration process.

I am pretty busy this weekend, does the car run and where do you need it towed to from Gahanna? Is your grandmother in Gahanna also?

My $.02 is that you are nuts to sell the Porsche for an EVO. The EVO's are nice, but they dont hold up(burn up clutches at 7k miles, etc) and the resale will be much lower than a 911 after three years. Do what you want its your $$.

Pictures please, Would these fit a 2002-3 Accord? What size is the rim? I dont know what wheels fit(bolt pattern) the newer accord.

Someone already said this,
Hit *228 and then option 2. If this doesnt work, you will need to go to a Verizon store.

Shoot, I wish you had this available a few weeks ago. I just pieced together a system similar to what you have listed.

What are you looking for in PC100? I have several PC100's chips I am not using.

Rolla,
Where is your shop located? What part of town? Can you PM me a estimate on upholstering my wife's 97 Volvo bottom seat. I need to replace the heating element.
Thanks,

Stouts in Delaware.

I agree, why have AOL. If using dial up, get Copper.net, it is $99 for a year.

If you are into Volvo's and can hook me up with someone that can replace my driver's side heating element cheaper than $350, let me know. I can take the seat out, I just need some help removing the seat covers and re-installing.Originally posted by pbsracerx:My name is Joshua Miller, Internet Manager for Byers Volvo.
Any AWD Volvo has a turbo.
A Volvo life expectantly is 18.6 years.
Volvo is a reliable car.
Volvo is a durable car.
I have put over 200,000 miles on a Volvo.
I have owned Volvos for 12 years.
In the years your looking for:
Volvo offered AWD in both a sedan (S70 1998-2000), a wagon (V70 1998-2000), a offroad style wagon (XC70 1998-2000), and a wagon (V70R 1998-2000).
Here is some info on all of them but the V70R:
All of them will be automatics.
2.4L DOHC inline 5 190hp@5100rpm 199ft-lbs@1800rpm.
Curb weight 3148lbs.

AWD with automatic
2.3L DOHC inline 5 236hp@5100rpm 228ft-lbs@2600rpm.

Volvos are known for more then just safety!
I'll stop before I start writing a novel!
Anything else I can answer let me know.

I own a 97 Volvo 850. We bought it new in 97 at Byers. We have enjoyed the car a lot and it is still my wife's daily driver. We have 85,000 miles on it presently. I read the reviews about Volvo's lasting for a million miles and that is one of the reasons we bought and the fact that it is designed with safety first in mind.
Overall, we are happy with it but some things are expensive. I usually do all of my maintenance on my vehicles, but for the first 5 years I took the 850 into Byers Volvo. I didnt want to void any warranty, so they did everything from oil changes to the timing belt at 80k. It wasn’t too expensive. The only thing that was expensive and I have not had repaired or fix, is the driver's side heated seat. It just broke this year and I was charged $100 at Byers to tell me that the heating element needs repaired and it will be another $350 to fix. I thought this would be the problem, but I wasn’t expecting $100 to tell me that and another $350 to fix. I was expecting ~$250 for the whole job. I was kinda upset about that, the heating element is a $60 part. I have not torn down a seat before, but am thinking about it, unless someone can do it much cheaper. Another note, that today’s Volvo’s are a product of Ford. I think Ford bought Volvo 98, so we have one of last ‘rest’ Volvos unless you are talking about Volvo trucks. Volvo still owns the truck part. Overall we are happy with the 850.

Congratulations and welcome to home ownership.

Any interest in trading some 86 GT rims for the 87-90 rims? Are the rims clean? I dont want the tires. I can remove them, I have a tire changer.

78 Z-28, I got it cheap and parts are still affordable for now.

+1Originally posted by Old Dirty Gangsta Hillbilly Bastard:Thats when being old like me pays off(the only time graemlins/doh.gif )Good luck thou
I pay under $1500/half year for all of my cars/truck.
wife's Volvo
Z71 Pickup and the rest of the stuff
One thing I did when I was younger was to buy and a insure a piece of sh-t as my full time driver and have my 'nice' car as a recreational driver. It was cheaper to insure two cars vs one. I would have my beater whenever the weather wasnt nice.

Another mustang, you should of keep the fox. Welcome...

I would go with the Z06. They are coming down in price fast due to the C6. There is nothing wrong with the Cobra(I own a stang too). I had driven a few Z06's and they handle great and are fast. I have not had the opportunity to drive a Cobra. If you plan to keep the car for a while, remember the body on the vette is fiberglass, which will not rust.
