Default Some Interesting Facts About Volvo Motorcars

Volvo has always built their cars to a certain degree of quality. Although they are not handsome in the eyes of everyone, their are some who greatly like the looks of a Volvo. But it is the mechanical parts in particular that are the best part. Our 1982 242 GLT cvoupe has 4 wheel disk brakes, 2.3 SOHC camshaft engine producing 136 horsepower, and a felling of safety that you always get driving a high quality machine like a Volvo. More importantly the engine's internals are all forged with the exception of the connecting rods. However, later on, these were made forged as well. This is part one of my ongoing series about Volvos. I like to think I know a little bit about them.

Eh, Volvos, they really aren't that special. They are nice cars however. The new C70 is dead sexy though.

Also, this forum section is for modifications and car problems. This should have been posted in the Car chat section. You should expect it to be moved to that section once TT or Jabba is on the forums again.

Default My Place of Residence

After a long drwn out struggle I have decided to reveal my location after being accused by the honorable creator of this website the great Jabba, of being Haiwaiian. After looking through the forums for a while I have discovered a person named Krazy Hawaiian who mysteriously dissapeared. I can now assure you, I am not that person.

Ok, we believe you, you are not Krazy hawaiian. But, why did you post that?
Here is some advice, read more, post less. Not every little thought that comes across your mind needs to be posted.
I know you are new, but I'm only trying to help.

Also, Krazy didn't mysteriously disappear, he left for reasons of his own. But the story has been beaten to death, so try not to bring it up.

Like I said before, untill you have an idea of how the forums work, read some of the threads that already exist and join in on them. Who knows, what you have to say might spark a good conversation.
