    converting from ** without a miata?!

    thank you Randy for savings us from the other side!!!

    most of you already know me so here i am. my online miata foruming(?) will be slowing down a little bit like it has the past couple of weeks. my Merlot has been considered a total loss and is in the mist of a complete part-out. my miata life is not over, but for now i am searching for my true love.......... a Volvo V70R Wagon! yes, you heard it right.............. a wagon.

    well greetings to all and a belated merry christmas!

    :EDIT: hehe it starred out ** in the title

    :EDIT 2: and there ^^ **

    :EDIT 3: damnit, i will win this game!!!!!!!

    Welcome to the "new' Roadster forum, sorry your Merlot was totalled, that is indeed sad news. If you dont get that volvo my friend is selling his 95 Merlot for $3100, let me know if you want his contact info and ill PM it to you.

    hahaha you like that word filter don'tcha, ;p

    I had a Volvo S70 Sedan. Which is basically the same thing as that V70r wagon. I only had the GLT but it still had the turbo. Was my first real car. I hated the thing lol. It was a boat, everything for it was expensive, and it broke a LOT lol. It also ate tires due to the weight. Bleh, good luck with the Wagon regardless, they can be really cool cars. And sorry to hear about your Merlot

    UPDATE: well no V70 for me. I found and scored on a 91 190E 2.6l Inline-6. Interior is absolute perfect condition with tan leather. Engine has only 113k miles on it and clean as could be. The body has some peeling clearcoat but other than that, its as straight as could be. I scored it for a cheap $1800. I'm picking it up tomorrow as the owner needs to clear the title. So I will have pics up soon........... SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!
