ARE VOLVOS WORTH IT

>especially the red block models
non turbo is uselessly slow tho

No

Yeah, accelerating onto the highway is always exciting lol

>tfw when there's a semi barrelling down the road and you're still 20mph short of the speed limit

Define worth it

Ive had 4 volvos, Subaru forester, crown Vic, Astro van, little pickup, zx2 escort.

Recently got pissed after doing a wheel bearing on the Forester and went to a 5 speed 240 wagon, because fuck any other car.

They all need work, might as well be easy to work on.

I also picked up an inspected 740 for 200 bones yesterday.

my volvo when

Yes. Pic related is mine. (1973 Volvo 142

OC from a few years back.

I've had an '08 S40T5 for 6 years now. Great little car, pretty damn reliable. Put 90k miles on it during that time and really only had two issues that were partially covered by Volvo as a missed recall.

Is it a super fast car? No. It's peppy, fun, reliable, and nobody would guess it's a 10 year old car by looking at it.

Also, I went off-roading in it once. Don't do that. The AWD pulled it through some rough shit but damn, I'll never do that again. It was by accident- a pole crashed down during a nasty t-storm and I was stranded with my wife up in the mountains of NC. Decided to drive off-road until I came across another trail and back on the road.

>nu-volvo
uhh, I would be hesitant to even call that a volvo
nu-volvo is irrelevant, they've betrayed their past.
