When I see one of these cars on the road (the current gen, obviously) I am always surprised by how bulbous, large and ugly they are. They look like a life sized Hot Wheels car, and not in a good way. Changing the grill isn’t going to fix the fact that the whole car looks like it had an adverse reaction to a bee sting.

I have a 1998 V70 T5 with a 2000 R motor and a light tune. It’s fun.

Thanks!

Why are the roof rails so big and blocky and high? Can you get smaller rails? They look like they lack any real function due to the fact that you can only attach stuff at the midpoint.

Read this whole thread over the weekend. This guy is an absolute inspiration to those of us who want to work on our cars but are afraid of making mistakes. The thread includes three engine swaps, paint, fabrication and an the builder’s unending desire to make his car make him happy. All done in a single car garage by…

I got your lag right here. 1998 V70 T5 Manual with a 2000 V70R motor, mild tune and ever-increasingly worn front tires. The onset of the boost makes me happy every single time.

Sony did this with its XSPN1BT radio

Looks like a proboscis monkey. That is one long nose.

Well, that was easy.

For the love of God, it's "need to be changed." You are, I assume, being paid to write this stuff. That's pretty basic grammar.

And that's the very car I drive now... nothing more fun than driving at about 30 in 2nd gear, stomping on the gas and having the front wheels spin in your 17 year old grocery getter. Fast, fun, roomy, safe, and sounds amazing with a 3" exhaust. Plus the rear arm rest converts to a booster seat and it has 3rd row…

I have those same numbers in a 1998 Volvo T5 manual with a tune. I just think of it as "fun." My car may weigh more though... When the turbo boosts to 16 psi it's silly.

I get that the laws are silly and the punishments are ridiculous and all of that, but what I don't get is the constant reiteration that fact. If you go really fast in Virginia, they will put you in jail. Got it? Going 50 over the limit (regardless of your feelings on what the limit should be) is really fast. For…

She will eat your children. And whine when you get under car. And she will knock over the carefully balanced cup of bolts. This is the only toy she has not destroyed in our 8 years together. My son gave it to her for Christmas.

Here is a guy who has three V8 Evinrudes on his boat making around 1300 HP and is trying to get the boat set up to break some sort of speed record. The thread is long, but it shows that he has a lot of talent, time and money.

You usually park that by the Mr Wash, right??

These articles that you right are nothing more than opportunities for you to bitch and moan about how everything is so hard. "The DC DMV is bad and it takes up my precious time." No shit, genius. It's the same in just about every large city. It blows. You know it's going to suck going in. Take a fucking book. …

Keep your unregistered, uninspected shitbox flying around the roads of California. Did you want the judge to help you pay your fine?

Well said.
