Been trying to help my dad find a Volvo 240, seems so rare these days though
hopefully not as a daily driver. Far safer and more comfortable cars out there
but as a project car, they are getting pretty hard to find, esp in decent shape. So many of the nice , older ones have ben sold cheap to hooligans and trashed.
OTOH, there are a few out there I've seen in dt Vancouver still being driven by their original owners. Just a matter of time before they are up for sale

Yeah he has another car as dd, just been looking for one of those for a while since he regrets selling his past ones lol
n 2014 GM was forced to issue a number of recalls that affected as many as 28 million cars worldwide due to faulty ignition switches. The problem meant that the ignition could be switched off during driving, stopping the airbags deploying in the case of a crash. The fault has so far been attributed to 42 deaths. Shockingly, GM knew about the problem for over a decade before taking action, and is under investigation to determine why it took so long to act.
I work at GM and there are average 100+ appointments each week with different recalls. (Not just ignition) ^^ its getting ridiculous I keep thinking to myself it has to start slowing down soon.. how many gms are even on the island ... that was 6 months ago and were still packed with recalls every single make year and model has atleast 1.
I believe cars are meant to be driven. I see zero point in having a beautiful car and never driving it. Might as well have Miranda Kerr in your bed and sleeping on the ground cause you don't want to fudge her mascara...
We go through our entire lives being told what to do every step of the way. The garage was always the one place where you could indulge in your own passion, with not a care for the outside world.

Most people I know that work at a GM dealership wouldn't buy their product. From salesman, to service and parts people. That says something. Funny that I say this, all the while continue my obsession with the Grand National. LOL!

There is a guy over on M3forum off topic that posts a lot about his. He dailys it on a set of carbon fibre wheels with no fucks given. Seriously my hero.

I really want a 997.1 GT3 RS, not willing to shop stateside for it, which is good, because the market for these in Canada is shit so I will actually save some money!
I am also at the front of the line for a Cayman GT4… not sure if I will pull the trigger or not at this point.

I did but didn't pull the trigger. High $20k for late eighties GM technology could not be justified at this time. It was going to been a storage queen anyway. Maybe later on in life.
I did buy an EVO IX and although it wasn't on my "list", it was still a car I wanted to own at one point so I could compare it to the GD STI.

Oh man, it's been such a dream killer the last year. I had 997 Turbo's and NSX's on the brain but those ideas burned in a fire like our dollar.
