mine's titanium grey though. Now I just have to get my driver's license... my girlfriend will drive me around the coming months :icon25:

and yes, it's pretty nice, if that's all you can afford

spec?

lol you don't even have your license yet?

S40 1.8 (125 bhp) with some look-good extras. It's amazing how feature-complete the car is in its basic form with things like cruise control and fancy audio. Oh yeah, and park assist, but not for me obviously

nope, for some reason I just never found the time or money. I'm planning on getting it for years now, and each time something gets in the way (buying a house, expensive furniture, etc). Getting your licence in Holland is expensive as fuck by the way.

S40. Nice. I like Volvos..
I approve.

I do not, however, approve of this statement:

Now I just have to get my driver's license

Why do you have a car before you have a license. Did you get it new?

(edit: NM. I was too slow)

oooooh, that explains quite a bit. i was gonna have to razz you if you lived in the states.

no, not completely new but only 1 year old, so as good as. My girlfriend (with which I've been living together for 8 years already) has her license though, so it really is her car for now

smashed to fuck by the time you get it then

she managed to keep our current car in one piece for 1.5 years, so I'm not too worried.

looks volvo'ie man good job enjoy

Nice little ride, 'grats.

Nice car man, especially for your first.

Hell, my first two vehicles were only worth $1000 each.

Heh, mostly doctors drive Volvo (here in holland) ;p

nice

Yes it is nice :icon14:

Hey r3t, when you say expensive, like how much?

I think here it is about $10 a year (pay every 5). That's about 4 burgers or cans of soft drink. Probably under a $100 to sit the examination.

In France, governement set the license at 1 Euro a day for POOR people, but the other must pay more. That's why I'm saving money for my 18 years.
By the way, nice car !

I don't think he ment actually getting the license itself but taking lessons and doing exam, it costs a lot of money here in the Netherlands. €500 at least, which is like 650 - 700 dollar or so?

edit:
the license itself costs you about 60 euro I think, and is valid for 10 years. You don't have to do an exam again but get a new license at the town hall.

btw bro', is the car already in front of the house?

sweet ride

Even when you got your license it was much more than that. A typical package of 20 lessons (most people need 30) plus one exame sets you back between 800 and 1000 euros. If you want a complete package with a garantee that you can do more than exame if you fail the first one, you pay at least €1500.

Car's not yet delivered, expected to be all done by the end of this week.
