Wednesday! This Wednesday! I will be the proud owner of this 2000 Volvo V70R! I'm super pumped because this will basically be my real first car. I am paying cash and she will be all mine! Trust me, there will be many more pics come Wednesday but I had to share!

In memory of my old Audi, you must delete the resonator. Easiest and cheapest way to get wonderful noises, and there's no such thing as a bad sound coming out of a five-cylinder.

Sadly not! Finding any V70Rs with a manual is near impossible in the first place. Finding one for $1700 is even harder.

Since October I've been sharing a leased Honda Civic with my grandma. That has been my first car.. But this is the first one I'm buying outright with my own money. This is the first that will be solely mine!

And I am so happy. Driving this thing was insane!

Yessir! Fast, safe, and practical!

It'll be perfect when we move North out of Florida!!!

Exactly. I can only imagine as to how happy you are. Volvos are great to drive. I'm sure this one will be absolutely hoontastic.

My first car was a Volvo. With a 4-speed manual. 142S ... many scraped knuckles. You, however, will really enjoy your new car.

At least it's an awesome car (read: NOT a civic)

Congrats from an 850 Owner. I'm jealous of your wagon.

The Civic does it job great. It's prefect for simple A to B. I just need more from a car. No excitement. I never got in the car and smiled from the thrill of driving it.

Look closely at the first picture; she's watching you.

I'm really jealous of that! Older classic Volvos are so awesome! I almost had a 122S Coupe with a manual a while back. But I didn't have the time or money to give it the attention it needed.

I'm thrilled with this car!

As of now it'll be either back to NJ or up in NH! Somewhere with... SNOW!

Sadly, when I owned the 142 it was neither old nor classic. Let's just say I've got more than 100K on my odometer ....

Yeah its driving my crazy just in the pictures!

I have to do something about it; either real paint or plastidip.
I think I need to find an actual R bumper if I'm going to spend the money painting it.

So for now I'm thinking of plastidipping it. I need to go on Photoshop and see what it'd look like if I black out both the front and the rear (since the rear is kinds scratched up). Might be good, might not.

Yeah, I'd Plasti Dip it a close enough picture and then start hunting for a real R bumper.

Haha thanks! Only more than twice the power (literally 140 vs about 281) and much more practicality! Also AWD!

Im so stoked

Same here, went from 140 in the civic to 286 in the tl. You'll notice the difference! No speeding tickets yet either lol
