Volvo

Not too long ago I was challenged to do a Volvo 240 Theme Tuesday by the human car encyclopedia Joe. Initially I thought this would be hard to pull together as after a few weeks I only had a handful of 240s and 244's saved. That was until I decided to go over to TurboBricks.com once I was there the list came together very well and very fast. I always kind of knew older Volvos had a following but I didn't know people were as faithful to these as they are e30s.

To hold you guys over until I get a chance to start rolling out my CSCS coverage here are some Euro Rods courtesy of 'go kart tire fitment ,ollie'. Ollie admits that he is not the biggest fan of traditional America Rods (because they typically don't handle well) but he is a big fan of these. I have not see a whole lot of euro rods before so I enjoyed these, hopefully you do too.

I've had some issues before with scheduled posts and since the week before and after my move might be kind of hectic I thought I should probably get the bugs worked out before hand. If all goes to plan this edition of Random Dopeness should go up as I am at the Next Mod 1 year anniversary meet. *crosses fingers* Well it didn't go to plan and this is one week late, better late than never!

I like Volvos and I love low riders, but together I'm not 100% convinced it's a good idea. What 90% of the population thinks be-damned though since this cardomain member decided to throw caution to the wind and build the low rider he always wanted out of his 760 Turbo estate.

Growing up my dad was a car guy, he used to take me to the Toronto International Auto Show, buy me remote control cars and got me hooked on building models. For almost as far back as I can remember his 91 Volvo 940se was his pride and joy. This car was my first introduction to RWD luxury and my dads 'family compromise' so to speak. He loved this car and would often take me for spirited drives showing me the effects of over steer as we went. I often hoped this car would be mine but sadly this was not the case.

I've been noticing smooth chrome wheels seem to be surfacing outside of the rod/muscle/mini truck scene lately, and while I wouldn't want to see these wheels popping up ever where, I do like them in moderation. It's a nice change of pace from the standard fare.

I saw these two cars today in a local topic about flushess. Neither are really flush but both are on that One Brands Trash vibe I love so much.

The concept of theme Tuesdays here on Stance Is Everything is simple, every Tuesday I pick a theme and post a collection of vehicles with that theme that meet the stance criteria (modified suspension that suit the vehicles intent). This weeks theme Tuesday topic is: Race Stance
