Because saab.

Putting my now Ex’s name on the title, but not on the loan. Sucks when they have claim to it legally, even though they weren’t paying for it. I regret that very much because I had to divest myself of one of my dream cars to get this woman out of my life and I was the one who wound up paying for it.

I disagree. 6 gears is perfect IMO. I’ve had 4, 5 and 6 spd transmissions, (including a 4spd with a push button OD) 6 is the best. Its just such a great highway gear. So many times I have driven a 5 spd only to wish I had 1 more gear for a few extra MPG’s and a few less RPM’s on long trips. I don’t feel obligated to…

I will also vouch for AW transmissions. The AW70/71 that has come in many an old Volvo is un-killable. Before I manual swapped my 240, my AW70 coped with 200k miles, running completely out of fluid twice, being set on fire, numerous HARD neutral drops, burnouts, auto-cross runs and general abuse playing kenny from the…

Please bring back the V10's, please.....

one of my 2 license plate lamps being burnt out. After I got pulled over the officer dodged my questions about why I was pulled over and kept asking if I had any weapons or weed in the car. I told him if you wanna waste your time looking go ahead. He searched the cabin my car, found squat, then asked, no bullshit, if…

Maybe I’m the odd man out here, but I’ve driven a BRZ/FRS, and am very much considering buying one, and I really don’t feel the lack of turbo kills this car. Its a very fun car as is, and does not need 300-400 hp to make it enjoyable, its enjoyable right out of the box.

Now, I don’t have a problem if they made a turbo…

But that damn wall is just so important guyz, he just wants you all to realize that!!

Welp, been there too. You live in north too obviously. I had to let a shop fix my t-belt in the middle of nowhere on my 240 once, I had the tools and parts, but it was over -20 with windchill

And this is reason #40585 to not go to jiffy lube and change your own oil, lol.

NGK/Denso/Bosh coppers (like the bp6es) are the only ones to use in boosted Volvo’s, its what the factory plugs are more or less, the bpr6es is just a colder heat range than stock.

Why not turn the ignition to “off”?? Some would claim steering lock, but just click it to off, the engine will die, quickly flick it back to “on” so you don’t die with a locked up steering wheel, however if you don’t steer a bunch during this quick process, you shoudn’t hit lock anyway, there are a few degrees of…

Ha, should have posted the experiences that I have had once or twice owning an odd cyl. count car.

I had a 96 Volvo 850 R, went to buy 5 plugs of course. Until I got to the counter...

ME: “I need 5 NGK BP6ES plugs for a 96 Volvo 850.”

I still can’t believe this is justifiable for the price. If they had the new boxer installed in it, maybe. But with the old Piece of shit EJ under the hood? No way. That’s old hat. Maybe they’ve made a great chassis, but they stuffed the same old motor in it, to me that’s just lazy. Not worth 50k by a long shot.

Gm? Build a poorly made product? Why I’m shocked!

I’ll be that tree was on a right hand corner. dratz. Poor dale.

hm, this actually looks kinda good.

Any Volvo.

There is no god....

Headgasket, fueling, rod and ring issues on EJ25 anything. Please stop trying to defend this trash heap of a motor. There are plenty of better engines out there, even from Subaru themselves.
