Volvo 850 Wagon vs. ricer civic

[e-brake]

I was driving my dad's volvo 850 GLT station wagon last night, and BTW its a 5 speed. I am going down the highway and there isn't any traffic whatsoever. Many stores sit along this highway and out of one of them pulls out a red civic with some body kit, lowering springs, and a big fart exhaust! I give the volvo some gas to catch up, the kid is in the slow lane so I pull up next to him and downshift and bring the 5 cyl. Volvo monster up to 5k and take off. This must've pissed him off being owned by a volvo station wagen so he blows by me at 80 mph, but we still wind up at the same traffic light with me going 30 mph slower. I turn off traction control as the civic revs its engine. I rev my engine, the light turns green, and I dump it at 4k getting the wheels to spin a little and the car to torque over to the left, the civic pulls on me a little, but once I had the box up to speed I blew by him in second gear! I decided that was enough for the night so I went back to where-ever I was driving too. When I got home I tried to convince by dad to purchase an aftermarket turbo and some stuff from ipd!

it's fun killing people in the Volvo, cause it's the last thing anyone expects

It's pretty fun in a de-badged M3 with a turbocharger. (Mine is badged..I don't play that stuff..)

My buddy has one de-badged, and it also is a normal 3 series color, green. No one thinks or expects it's an M3 unless they really know about the body kit, etc.

LOL!! I didn't mean to leave 100 feet of rubber in 2nd gear!! ITS REALLY A 318!!

I hate it when I see just regualer 3 series with M3 body kits. I say, "Whoa, Look a M3!", then my friend says, "no you idiot, its a 325i, and you call yourself a fanatic."

It is fun killing little hondas w/ a station wagon. My mom has an 850 Turbo wagon, unfortunately its an auto, but once its going it does pull really well. I have had a few encounters w/ hondas in this thing...its funny because they are surprised most of the time by the grocery getter

Yeah I do hate that as well. I say why not just spend $18k and get a 95 M3 and mod it...

Rather than spend 12-15 and dump 5 into it so it looks like an M3.

you can get a 95 M3 for 18k?!!!!!!! The lowest I've ever seen was 24k

Naw 18k sounds about right. Assuming it has some serious miles on it by that time. 24k you could get a 98 with 65k possibly

sweet 18k, might be able to make that much when I graduate and before I go to college. Exactly what this world needs, another leadfoot 18 yr old behind the wheel of a 240hp M3!

LOL! I do the same thing. My mom has a V70 T5, the car is suprisingly fast and definately a sleeper. Its also a girl color, metallic coral red (pretty much pink), so nobody expects it to be fast.

My buddy I bought my 98 from sold a 95 with 88k miles on it for 18k...not all of them are 18k. I would say the average is 19.5-20k.

umm, the cheapest 98 iv seen here is about 32k...cheapest 95 m3 was 23k with 77k miles on it...

[JsnE36M]

If im wrong...can you pleeeeeease tell me were to find a 95 2dr m3 manual for that low of a prise, lowere then 70k miles if possable...then i can get the supercharger! and some other stuff.
