This is last night, I wanted to post this and share it with you just because its the most recent photo of the car, and I rarely take pictures of my car anymore. This car is still going strong. It needs to be maintained often however the car runs wonderful.

This is a 1982 Volvo 240 GL. I believe the engine in it is a B23E. I have been driving this car since I was 16. Sometimes I look at it and feel sorry for it, other times I look at it and think of all the fun it has given me just driving it around.

This summer I got a new means of transportation an RZ 350. I didn't drive the volvo for 2 months and everything went bad.

The gas line was spraying gas the tires were flat the brake pads were rusted to the rotors, the fuses were all corroded.

However. This car is just as fun as the bike. Its so comfortable, and even compared to newer cars like the 350z or a chevy cavalier, Sebring, bmw 328, bmw 530 something. I still love the way this car drives.

I wanted to share this with you, well, to those who care. I know many people dont. But I just like this picture from last night.

So comment, negative, positive or neutral.

There's only one word for that car.


WOW!

 

wow is right.

 

I knew volvo owners liked ugly cars....but is this a joke? photochop?

 

^^ Its his car that he built as a joke. I think its original.

 

wicked, i saw that thing in the parking garage at york... props for being original, and not giving a ---- what others think....

 

omg.. the bat mobile returns.... i think that car was originally built by someone i know.. he sold it a couple years back but i still cant believe someone bought it!!!!! If it used to be silver im pretty sure its the same car heheheh this is great, i cant wait to show him this picture.

nice bike, u do wear a helmet on the street though right?

 

yeah man i wear a helmet on the street. I dont have pics here. I am at york right now. I will get pics of me wearing a helmet or full suit.

BTW... The guy in niagra falls whats his name? The guy that ran after me at lundys lives in welland... Around the dealerships..

Are we thinking of the same guy?
Or are there two guys from the falls that think I bought there old car.


Here is an old pic of my car. I know I didnt buy the car off that guy

But here is the pic

 

yeah its def wow, but props for being original.

 

*tears* im touched.. this is comming from team amazing. "

Nice name btw

 

Hey! watch what you say about Volvo owners!

Definately original and what a transformation. I can't see the video

 

ive seen this car tatleast twice at KC. i was like woh this hast got to be the worste non japaneses ricer i have seen. u need some neon blue tint to go along with the paint. maybe some NOS stickers

 

thanks, i don't even know think colin remmebers me.

People can make fun but you gotta think. He's not a professional body man, he was doing it for fun and he did it all himself with whatever tools/parts he had to put on the car. It still took time and effort to make it the way it is, mad respect because he drives around in it, and doesn't care what ppl say because its just a car. And its original, good stuff colin. I still remembered you made your headlight conversion out of school zone signs you found LOL

 

team amazing.. whats your name?? 92 RS thats an integra right?

Woah man.. I had no idea what your board name is.. whats your real name.

If the quicktime video wont work dont worry i may have it on my computer.

 

not a fan of the front end

 

neither am I .. i like the fact that its MERCEDES and audi.
lol

 

Holy ----, my dad had one of those volvos, he loved it to death, but kept it stock.. no crazy lights or anything like that....

 

I wish i had kept my car stock. I would get pulled over half as much or not at all

 

Wha gwan coconut. Love the car... its a Legend. lol. long time no talk bro. anyways hope your well. well link up in the summer go ride or sommin if i get around picken up a bike.

 

thats a pimp ride. even though its crazy riced out. its still pimp. very different and unique. i still remember u had some microphone and a speaker coming from your car. oh yeah i seen it once at KC when i was there in the summer.
invest in some rims?

 

i'm sorry, but i think it looks oogley

 

At least 96GSR cant call him a sheep.

 

yeah sure frost we will go for a ride when you get it,

and i dont want to spend money on rims. Right now I know a way to get rims for really cheap but the Fwd ones.

U go to accident claims and have say 3 rims that are still good you get them them for cheap as they usually throw them out.. then you find another set of three and u have a set and 2 spares..

Im going to wait till the roads get really icy then start looking.

 

you mean cars that are a write off?
