Wow, I like the silvia and the all trac turbo celica.

 

most of the newer SC owners had 240s. my last car was a 93 SC300 5speed. i loved it.... so i got another one before that was my 89 rx-7 convertible... ill post pics if i get arround to it... gonna have to use the old scanner. before that was my first car... 92 cavalier... i know, not too hot, but it was good enough for a 16.0 @ 89mph

 

Heres my ride(my daily driver). 1997 Nissan Maxima SE

Pics taken before I had tint. Pretty much the same though.

Here's the *****bucket of a Volvo that we have. This car has been nothing but a continuous headache. I'm pushing for my parents to trade this sucker (only worth about 7k trade-in, but theyve got the money) in for a new GS. They aren't biting just yet tho, we went over to the dealer to have my SC appraised just for the hell of it, and the salesperson was a real jackass and a half. Ever since then, my dad seems reluctant to even want to walk into that Lexus dealer again. I told him there are other dealers around, but he won't take the bait. It's not like there is even ANY other car that he has ever "liked" more than the 1990 LS4 we had for 9 years. He started off with an old Volvo, his words after that "I'm never buying Volvo again." Then he owned a Pontiac Bonneville for a while, his words after that, "I'm never buying American again." Then he had a 5 speed Maxima that gave him nothing but transmission problems. His words, "I'm never buying another 5 speed again." Then came the LS, never a complaint, never a problem. We did pick up a 1994 Nissan Altima while we had the LS, but it got traded in for this new VolvoS80. Then we sold the LS back to the Lexus Dealer in exchange for my SC, and went to another luxury box -- BMW 740IL on his company lease, man was that thing a headache too. His words, " Thats the last time I buy a BMW." Lexus seems to be the only car he even considers buying at this point, but only God knows what's keeping him from acting on it and trading in this crappy Volvo for a new GS

HE did say the other day that with these gas prices, he really wants a hybrid as his next car. I can already see myself pushing the GS450h out into the forefront

 

I thought the new Volvos were good cars? I've never heard of a problem over here in Australia

Anyway, here's my old car... a JDM 93 Toyota Soarer 2.5GT... I loved this car, but continuous small problems started to occur more frequently... stuffed gearbox, accident damage etc... poor car It served me well for the four years I owned it though.

 

And here is the replacement Yes I love Soarers hehehe

JDM 1997 Soarer 2.5GT-L... currently trying to save money for Supra BBK and OEM 17" wheels.

 

In fact, even the australian and swedish people have the same problems with the Volvo S80 (T6 and 2.9), in its model years previous to 2002 (as i've read from www.volvo-forums.com and www.swedespeed.com). 1999-2001 models are absolute trash. they have sensor failures left and right, CEL everyday, leaky oil pans, everything from faulty o-rings to headlights/turn signals that FALL out of their housing and dangle by the wiring harness while you drive along the highway. Ours is a 1999, first model year. That in itself was a mistake when we bought this car. Paid cash for it too

The 2002-2005 model years are wonderful. Volvo did manage to work out the kinks from the first 3 years and have actually built a sound (mechanically), comfortable, stylish, fast automobile.
