    bought a new car *new pictures*

    so I got a new job that pays a bit more and decided a newer car was in order :-) I bought a 2001 volvo s40 1.9L turbo today and I pick it up this evening :D .the bad news is I am really thinking about getting rid of the bimmer (anyone want a convertible?) at least for a little bit than gett something cheaper like an old eta or 2002 to tinker with.

        I would go for the 2002 like I just did. These cars are AWESOME to tinker with. Everything is relitively cheap to replace and they have a great presence everywhere they go. People look at me as much in my 02 as they do in my M3!
        I can understand your desire for a newer car and volvo's are nice solid cars.

          Cool Volvo. I think I'll be getting a 5-er soon.

              yeah, a newer car was a must. I drive a good bit in a week and the roads are sub-par its just to uncomfortable for the e30. this car is a blast! everything is so clean. the car handles well and has good pick-up because of the turbo and I dont mind being in it for extended trips.
              I will probably end up with a 2002 soon, I just need to get rid of the convertible first and the m30 I wanted to put in it

                Very nice pick! I've long been a fan of the Volvo and that's a good one. Like you, I just bought a car ('99 328i) for similar reasons. I travel a lot and it's not feasible anymore with a car stretching over 233.000 miles. And also like you, I am looking to sell my beloved E30 :-( Good luck with your Volvo!
