94 Volvo 940. 174000 and counting. Bilsteins and Yoko Avid H4s. Not much of a winter here either. BIG POWER ADDER, A K&N drop in filter. It now has 100hp lol. Great car and I love to drive it, one day I will do some engine mods and make it into something fun.

I know you got an awesome deal on that, but what did you put down if you dont mind me asking? That is a stellar deal. How many years, how many miles etc...

thanks,

I just bought an 05 golf GLS TDI for the winter, and next spring it goes to the G/F, when the 951 comes out of it's winter hiding, and next winter it's mine again... kind of like a recurring winter car. Great idea if you ask me, since the G/F won't drive on the icy roads (and if she doesn't want to, I don't want her to, safer that way), so this sharing works out perfectly!

It when we get our snow and ice delivered. Handy if you're into that sort of thing and I am.

My favorite thing about winter (aside from the paid days off for 3" of snow!) is passing H2s while driving my little Miata. I'd drop the top just so they could get a good look at me if it wasn't so hard on the top...
