I needed a new DD and decided something newer with less miles made more sense. It is a clean car, congrats.

Positive. It was at the pizza cabin place there off 23 right?

I almost bought that car. Came out great!

I will bring my suburban over you big baby.

Picked her up a 2009 C70 2.5t in the gayest color possible "celestial blue". For a chick car it is good looking. It drives great.

Yeah I will give it some time. It is lighter than the caddy with the same motor with more power. It will be faster than the ctsv for sure. It won't beat the gt500 though.

Looks great, I hope to see it out soon. The ricer in me knows this car is second only to the Skyline! In all seriousness, one of my favorite all time cars.

We were looking for an Eos when I came across what appears to be a great deal on a 2009 Volvo C70. It is a hard top convertible. My wife swore she would never own a Volvo but I talked her into driving one locally. As much as she wanted to hate it, she liked it a lot more than the Eos. Anyone have any experience with these hunks of metal before I drive a couple of hours to pick this one up? I have zero experience with Volvos but my best friend is a Volvo fan boi and swears by them. They were only available with the 2.5 inline 5 with the low pressure turbo (227 horse). This one is a 5 speed auto.

Word out of GM is the "official" company line is 12 flat quarter. I think once hot shoes get a hold of it you will see 11.6x to 11.7x bone stock.

740-504-9696 his name is Mark.

Mark at Dent Mender made an appointment to meet me at a dealer in Delaware to pull a dent on my Speed 3. My schedule changed and I was not able to sneak out, he said no problem and came to chase and fixed it in the parking lot! It was fast and looks good as new. Thanks Mark!

Who should I recommend for this work? It has been a while since I have had a car serviced.

I know right? I should ban myself.

I have not really beat on it yet as I was told the ECU needs time to adjust the maps? Not sure of that is true but not willing to test the theory

Yep I went with the corksport. I have the RMM inserts in the garage. I got them for the same reason. If it is an easy install I will have to do it this weekend. The SRI/TIP combo wasn't bad but about at the limit of what I am personally willing to tackle anymore.

So I finally took the time to install my first modification... A short ram intake and turbo inlet pipe for the Speed 3. I cannot lie the first time I took it out After the install and heard the whoooosh psssh, I had a big smile. Bad news is later that night I was taking the family around carefully staying out of boost so they would not hear it. Oops did not shift soon enough... Psssh. My wife looks at me and just says "ricer".

Should make it out

That was awesome - I live with a whole house full of women and was proud to show them.

So as mentioned in another thread my wife really wants an Eos. I found the perfect one for her but it is a 2008 (really wanted the upograded motor in the 2009 but may make this one work). The issue is she REALLY wants bluetooth hands free but it was not available until 2009. It uis my understanding there is an adaptor that upgrades the 2008 to allow bluetooth. Anyone know anything about that?

I think the 09s also have Bluetooth but I am told the 07s and 08s can be cheaply upgraded with some sort of adaptor. I think at this point we would end up with an 07 or 08 but your info on the engine is exactly the stuff I need. My wife does not care as long as it is Eismeer Blue...awful if you ask me but it is her car!

My wife is in love with the VW Eos and her driving our 2002 suburban everyday is getting crazy on gas. We plan on keeping the suburban for when we need it and getting her something smaller and fuel efficient. She wants something a little bit fun, the fiat 500 and mini cooper were also being considered. We will not buy new so the fiat is out (that and I driven one and hated it-the abarth may be better but the standard one was terrible in my opinion). So anyone know anything about the Eos? Given that I think it is on the golf platform I would assume it would be a decent choice for reliability?

Rates have never been this low, IMO get a fixed rate 15 year or 30 year. Do not mess with an Arm. There is no advantage I can see doing the transaction this way.

I run it in my Mazdaspeed 3- it came highly recommended. The reason I was given is it resists breaking down when being diluted with gas which happens in direct injection applications.

I am going to try to make it. I have a friend's all original 1978 trans am. It is a survivor with 34000 miles. It's pretty cool.
