Hi guys! I am Sarah from California and I just bought my first Volvo, a white 1999 S70 GLT. This is my FIRST EVER case of car lust. I got it for a great price, and there are some things I need to fix up a bit, so I just want to say...THIS IS THE GREATEST SITE EVER!! Thank you everybody (esp. Matthew) for doing what you do. I've been getting a discount on parts thru the FCP Groton link, and the next time I buy from Amazon, I'm definitely doing it thru this site. You're the bomb, babies!

I think my profile name says it all, but I'm currently living in John Denver's old stomping grounds!

Hi everybody, I'm from NYC - Staten Island. Found this website a few days after I bought my first Volvo - 20 y.o. but in GREAT condition. A few minor things need attention, but I love this car! :D

YeeHah, Cowboy in a Volvo in Texas ;-)

Oh, yeah... I am also a 1 week old Volvo owner. I bought a 2001 V70XC that 3 mechanics all gave a big thumbs up to (excluding suspect master cylinder and smaller things), but after reading the probs with these I might be back on horse back soon :wink:
