Hi from a volvo fan that is frustrated.

Post by gigidy5 »

The reason I have come to this forum is because I am tired of all the other forums screwing around so much.

When someone asks a question here it is answered with no bias or judging. Just truth.


In other (not mentioning names, but you know) Volvo forums it's a whole bunch of people that play around and mock you instead of telling what you are asking.

Hello I am Charles from Cincinnati.

My dad owned a Volvo 240 when I was growing up, and that is what got me addicted to how Volvo's drive, and feel, and smell.

My sisters first car was a blue 1986 240.
When she went to college (her college was 12 hours away from home) the 240 was too moody to make the journey. So she got a *shudder* Hyundai Accent.

Thus, I inherited the 240. That was one of my favorite moments in life.

The 240 continued its moodiness and was becoming too costly to maintain so we donated it to the blind. :)

Then we bought (I payed half) my 850. A whole new world of trouble. :mrgreen: :roll:

That is what brought me to Volvo forums of all kinds.
That is what brought me to my final resting place. Matthews Volvo Site. The Best Damn Volvo forum on the interwebs. 8)
