athal - i'll trade ya cars for a cruise. Jade's about as tall as my mom...ish...she'll fit fine in the s70 And I'm short...I fit in any and all volvos...which is why i love volvos and not acuras!!!

Andy - you know we luv ya and we only raz ya cause we can. Someday when you're not a brokeass student you'll be building a car that will kick all our asses.

Course, by then I might have my c30...so I'll kick everyones ass with my car's cuteness ...need to start whoring myself out.

Kat, no matter how hard you try, you'll always be WWD! (Wrong Wheel Drive)

'scuse me? Heavy on the "ish" there girl. Jade's about 6'2". Your mom is well under 6'...

pssht. alright alright. my mom still classifies under the 'bloody tall' in my books...as does jade...she can fit in my car!!!!!

and my mom's maybe an inch or two under 6 feet....she's pretty tall. i'm the definate shrimp of the family.

and yes, i will always be wwd...volvo just doesnt do right wheel drive anymore do they?

Exactly, so why bother with the newest wwd?

Raz: Apparently, the part I got from Groton is a Hydraulic Brake Booster. They shipped me the good part and I'll send this one back.

pa - one word for you....warrenty.

these buggers get pricy when shit goes wrong...and i don't have the knowledge or tools to fix 99.9% of the stuff that will die on me.

warranty is for suckers, and so is wrong wheel drive.

New volvos have nothing to do with volvos.

Warranties are great. Time to start collecting tools and getting your hands dirty - that's the fun part about owning your own car. We should start a Kat's toolbox thread - who's got some duplicates they can share?

Warranties keep you from learning and being a responsible car owner. Kat, once you've built up a tool fund, we'll go shopping.

i've got doubles but unfortunately they are for my box at home.

My suggestion for you kat for tools is to wait for a mastercraft maxium sale...get the set thats usually $500 or $550 I can't remember because when thats on sale it goes for $250 bucks which is a hell of a deal.

...thought mastercraft was one of the seven deadly sins here andy? or am I confusing brands?

and when is this sale? let's hit it up!

Warranties? The only thing that is garantied is that it is garantied that you pay!

true. i dunno i just like the c30 cause its cute little n pretty...and i can get what i want with it (whoohoo stick here i come)

I mean, come on guys, it's JUST ME. Why the heck do I need a full size sedan?

and for some reason i have a weakness for hatchbacks. they're cute!

Mastercraft is good stuff, as is Craftsman. They both get put on wicked sales and they both have lifetime warranties. Mind you, Power Fist from Princess Auto has a lifetime warranty on their tools but I, for one, don't feel like spending all my time taking tools back for replacement...


Go by a Herald paper box on Thursday every week and grab a Canadian Tire flyer that's likely laying on the ground. Don't buy it unless it's at least 60% off retail price...

alright i'll keep my eyes peeled.

Matt - you're on notice my friend!
