but then like a 90's hip-hop album disaster struck, living in northern MN we have extra stupid deer with freezer burn brains that jump in front of cars seemingly for fun, it was a huge pregnant lady deer, you know the type, fat bleach blond hair and the "podunk HS '86" t-shirt in XX-waytoosmall she is convinced still fits but the rolls folding out the bottom tell a different story, ignoring the fact she is pregnant still has the usual bottle of jack in her stupid fat jelly roll fingers, she stumbles out from between the trailers and BAM! good thing the Volvo is meant to shake off a moose
new guy "Hi"
new guy "Hi"
hello fellow Volvo owners! new to the site, I am a subaru mechanic from northern Minnesnowta, I have a 2005 XC70 black on black and used to have a 745 with a chevy V-6 swap, no I didn't do the swap it was a $250 beater that ended up lasting way too long so I gave it to my cousin who uses it as a "farm truck" to this day 16 years later. the 2005 XC is my wifies daily but I drive it the 1.5 hours to the grocery store so I have modified it into the "bullet train" we have only had it 1 year so I haven't gotten to everything yet but it has gotten the timing and water pump done and all new brakes all around, and new tyres for a start (at volvo) then I did, TBS, full PCV system, HD TCV, rear hatch struts, fuel pump, K&N filter, all from IPD, next is going to be bilstein shocks and IPD F&R swaybar kit with HD endlinks. After that I want more power, S80 V-8 swap??

also a good thing I have my GP100 with me as the deer wasn't dead yet
as much as I hated that stupid animal for hitting my nice car I still didnt want to see it suffer. That was in the winter just half a year after we got it. the insurance co totalled it so as a mechanic I bought it back got a new headlight and new hood for way cheaper than estimated got the hood painted left the cracked bumper and fabed a grill that I painted black to match the car and even made an emblem of my wife's initials, it being winter I didnt put the hood on with the nice new paint till the salt and cold were gone, so summer hit I put the new hood on all shiny and WHAM! deer #2 not 2 months after I put the brand new hood on! So I get another check to fix it (a lot) I say f@#% it this time, another new headlight (the other side at least) put the old dented hood back on as its less damaged and its stock so it fits better and it was easier to pound back out, pulled out the deer hair from the new cracks on the bumper and I'm done. another fat check to spend on things I really need.
