I had a 2000 outback wagon just like that after my father passed, loved it! As long as the volvo doesn't have a "coexist" sticker on the rear bumper it's okay

Admittedly I am a tad aghast at the lack of squarebody trucks found in this thread.

Cool idea OP dude. :waytogo:

On my way to work in a 1988 Blazer. 350/350/3.42s on 31-10.50 R15s.

Thats the thing that makes me stand out in it....a Volvo without an "I'm With Her" sticker, along with 27 hippie statements on a car painted like the Partridge Family's bus.

2009 Cobalt, leaks oil like the Exxon Valdez, clunks and runs with a beating heart of pure arthritis. That little 2.2 doesn't make any power but will certainly bring the car up to its 115mph governor, and as I accidentally found out, will run on only 1.5 quarts of oil.
But it costs me nothing besides oil and gas to drive it, gets me to STL and back every day, had faithfully served my sister as her first car, then my dad used it on and off as a work car, now I use it for school. Will be turning into a gambler 500 rig and making into an elco themed car next year.

Because of its oil leaking situation I decided to get some more appropriate badging.

My old 2001 oldsmobile aurora 3.5l v6 (LX5) burned on average 1qt per 200-400 miles, it was all valve seals and some minor leaking.

how are those led headlights? i would like some for my DD it uses the old sealed beam units.
Bought them on ebay for $30. Bright! Much better then stock sealed beam and look way better. I think i need to adjust them up higher, they seem to be real bright up close. Hit high beam and it just kinda fills in the empty space, dont real go down road any better. Hence why i think they need to be adjusted.

i have been looking at them for a while myself and wonder if they have any cutoff like stock leds used in new cars. i don't want a headlight that will blind anybody and get me a ticket.
