This is the 850 GLT I got for a Christmas/Birthday combo present. I love this thing. So far I have blacked out the grill, installed a cold air intake, put in the 960 throttle body, shortened the shifter (much shorter throw now), and found a factory roof rack. Its great for hauling bikes around. I am getting a new stereo for it soon and maybe new wheels if I can find a job.

Happy 4th of July from our patriotic Volvos!
P.S. - If you look carefully, you can see another maroon 240 in the background. It's like playing I Spy...only with Volvos

There was a point growing up where my parents had matching silver and red BMW's and a blue Saab. They took em out to the neighborhood 4th of July parade one year

I noticed that, and before I read that you were posting them in r-w-b order for the 4th, I was wondering why that isn't in the shot. Anyway, cool, and patrioticPianoman702 wrote:Happy 4th of July from our patriotic Volvos!

Thanks, I felt bad leaving it out but it was blocked in the driveway by other family members' cars. Plus, the driver's side paint is sub-par. (That's a nice way of saying it's awful! haha)
