There doesn’t seem to be a huge local group of volvos, but i know a local chapter of VCOA was just started. i have a 1998 V70R modded nicely. couple months ago sold off my 04V70R. my DD is a 08 honda accord which isn’t to bad for a free work car.( i have no plans to mod it) Here is a pic and a little about my car if your interested. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/flyfishing3/101_0066.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/flyfishing3/101_0066.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/flyfishing3/101_0067.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/flyfishing3/101_0067.jpg) 1998 VOLVO V70R AWD SAFFRON GOLD EXT.(435) 133,XXX ORGINAL MILES VOLVO 18T(str flange) upgrade CUSTOM TUNE BY WOTHRLINE IN SWEDEN HIGH FLOW MANIFOLD 04 C70 CLEAR JEWELS APEX HIDS 6000K 302MM ROTOR UPGRADE EST FRONT GRILL EST MSD IGNITION EST INTAKE 8.5MM PLUG WIRES OMP STRUT BRACE RONAL RT 18” CUSTOM DP ZEITRONIX WBO2 IPD HD ENDLINKS SAMCO VAC LINES Carbon fiber mirror covers from carbon fiber works. carbon fiber rear spoiler from carbon fiber works 1/113 BROUGHT TO AMERICA ---
