Let me introduce myself

Post by dm635 »

Hello fellow bricksters. Been a Volvo driver for many years and if my sig comes up, it will show what's on the road now and those that have been retired, sold, or did what a Volvo does and gave their lives for ours.

Just got out of the 94 960 last week and traded it for the 94 850. I really like the 960's, but the one I just let go had some frame damage that I didn't know about when purchased. Drove for 5 yrs and had 260K on it, still running strong. This is the 1st front wheel drive I've ever bought. The XC came along last march, but it's the wife-mobile and I hardly drive it. Had plenty of front drive company cars.

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

In my opinion the 960 is far better than the 850 but I prefer rear wheel drive. People who know me well think I am strange.
