Flashy! Period correct! Looks great Dave. I used to have a motorcycle helmet in that same blue metalflake as a kid!. I'd wear it around the house! Before I owned my first bike!

I've still got a metalflake orange helmet around here someplace, the color matched that on my super killer fast 250 Honda Scrambler!!!!!

I don't get it either, Alan. I can understand a guy looking at his own car and smiling, but laughing out loud? Other people probably looked at some of my stuff and laughed but I never did!

I have always liked wagons and I have long admired Volvo products in general, particularly that sedan model that looked that looked similar to Fords of the same era ('46-'48). A boss of mine offered to sell me his but by the time I decide to buy it he had sold it.

I definitely like yours.

Jim

Wow sorry you feel that way. Wish we could have seen more pictures of the Volvo before you checked out. I truely hope the next 4 years are good.

Alan - I hope that the Obama "Plan" is what you really want and need -

Randy, Mike and Jim - what he is saying is that he is no longer banned and has the last laugh over the election and is departing forever

I only hit the "like" because I like the car. The gloating I could do without....

You can UNLIKE if you change your mind (yeah, the car is nice, but....)

Worth considering, but now that I've qualified my like as regarding the car, I'm ok....

Alan's a decent guy. He came out here to visit a friend and helped me with the truck(offered his time and help freely), and gave me some good pointers. Politics aside he is skilled in car customization. I'm sorry politics got in the way with why we are all on this site.

Steve, I can respect anyone's politics which does get me into heated discussions - I just can't abide by the sharp stick in the eye attitude and as Randy said, gloating

Yep that is unfortunate that he felt the need for the parting jab. It has been my experience with people that sometimes they have to get the last word in.

Come on guys, let it go!!!! This thread has been going for 8 years and has been a lot of fun to participate in and post to...... Let's not get it closed by starting discussions about politics and religion which IMO have no place ANYWHERE on this site!!!!!
