My new ride...

bought a loaded 1999 volvo s80 from my father. It's warrantied for another 10k miles and I know the car's history so there shouldn't be any surprises. yeah it's an old guy car but the stereo sounds great, it runs and looks brand new, and the seats have got to be the most comfortable i've had the pleasure of planting my ass in . perfect commuter car.

i'm selling my 91 integra LS if anyone's interested in buying a winter beater. i'm doing the honest thing and taking it to a mechanic and having the car checked out and will price it based on what the mechanic says it's worth...the buyer will know *everything* that's wrong with it. not the best way to get to get top dollar I know but i've been screwed enough times to know i could never do it to someone else.

pm me if you or someone you know is interested. it's probably going to be pretty cheap because im pretty sure it needs some expensive mechanical work; clutch + timing chain. Body/interior wise the car is in excellent shape. 106k miles.
