I fully expect a 2JZ to end up in that.

We’ve been over that for a while now. The new thing is mint colored CUVs with a CVT, sorry.

Shiny. Manuel?

It suddenly occurs to me that I have never, ever seen paint that shiny on an older Volvo before.

Looks mint! Also the lights on the front bumper are awesome.
![]() 09/15/2016 at 20:40 |

Convertible preferred.

The badge on the front fender, did you find one of the rare Harley Davidson Limited ™ 240?
![]() 09/15/2016 at 20:41 |
|
Show us your stick Matt. So that we may judge it.
Do I even want to know how much a 240 that clean costs?
![]() 09/15/2016 at 20:42 |

It’s lovely! Good job!
![]() 09/15/2016 at 20:43 |

Looks Maroon. That's a good color too.

One of us... One of us...
Excellent choice, I miss my old 245. Looks like it has Euro lights and markers? Great color too. Is it a Classic?

On closer inspection these are loafers

Do you own any navy sports coats with leather patches on the elbows? You should.
![]() 09/15/2016 at 20:48 |

I support this.
![]() 09/15/2016 at 20:50 |

The fact that the tag is “Mattcar” and not “Mattical new ride” shows that you’re now old.

I see things have turned around since Activision took over.

I also own of those...

Nice but well it baby while remaining sideways??
![]() 09/15/2016 at 21:07 |

Ah hell. Next you’re gonna say it’s a manual and has a diesel.

Now THAT will baby.

Acres of glass. The visibility must be fantastic.
I miss old cars. You could actually see out of them. :(
![]() 09/15/2016 at 21:12 |
|
And there’s a Ford 302 under the hood, yes?
![]() 09/15/2016 at 21:24 |

Hilariously, it has badges off an old pre-86 Volvo and thus it says “2.1" on the side despite having a 2.3-liter engine.

Needs more Virgos
![]() 09/15/2016 at 21:30 |

Good god that’s clean. Happy to see it has independently-aimable driving lights, too, which are great when your friends get to your car first and you get in and find out that you’re blasting light at both the trees directly above you and the road under your front bumper.
5-speed?
![]() 09/15/2016 at 22:03 |

So that means it is almost an AMG!

Sooo, what’s the plan? Are you LS’ing it?

Very nice!

I bought my first 240 15 years ago and am now on my second (a ‘92). Since buying my first, I’ve replaced or repaired just about everything.
If there’s ever anything you’d like to know, feel free to drop me a line.

I have been hunting a light blue one with the blue vinyl interior to match the old one I had. I am beyond jealous. Now just drop a B230FT out of a ‘94 940 Turbo and it will be perfect.

You should have seen my 1990 in light blue with the Virgo wheels off the Turbo model. It was immaculate.

Since you bought the ultimate hipster car, you now have to immediately drive it to the nearest fair trade coffee shop and discuss Jill Stein’s political campaign.

When our driveway only had Volvos, a couple walking by asked if we were Swedish because of the cars!

That looks like a 93 Classic Edition, no? Why the steelies with plastic wheel covers instead of the Classic Edition wheelset?

That is hilarious!

I can’t remember the last time I saw one with shiny paint in real life. Their owners tend to not care much about paint protection.

It’s a reverse AMG!
