I show that video to all the nonbelievers.

My first Volvo was an free white '87 745. I was looking at 245's and Subaru wagons before my first daughter was born. I ended up with that car and it was all over.

Well, I like my 744 tic so here are some crappy iPhone pictures:

(before euro lights)

yeah i know about the foglights..they were trashed when I got the car, and I removed them after I had the bumper fixed and repainted.
and heres the engine as it sits now, new turbo and IC going in very soon:

500dollar744ti · 07-18-2009, 09:30 PM

that is my motivation, been that way from the start. my car is slowly making its way toward the same sort of power. just been a slow(er) than normal process.

VQ · 07-18-2009, 10:53 PM

That burgandy one is hot.

Chigga's car is a major inspiration for my 760.

thelostartof · 07-18-2009, 11:06 PM

Mine, every time I drive it, see it parked in the distance, or even watching it rolling down the road in the reflection of a building or the side of another car

Raz · 07-18-2009, 11:08 PM

my car doesn't look like other cars.
