Not unrelated at all. Actually slightly MORE relevant to my interests than the article.

This makes my panhard.

I might have a new picture to use...for private things.

So in keeping with the theme that cars must get better with every generation, what happens when they get to 399is? They already screwed the pooch with wasting the 4xx designation on the 3 coupe.

I was just arguing with someone the other day about this car. I said that if I had the money I would buy this and another car for when I needed more than a go cart. His argument was that you could get so much more for your money at the price point.

From my experience, the other people usually at Volvo dealerships other than myself are middle class professional folks just trying to get some repairs on their most comfortably-seated steed. Can’t be mad when you sit in those seats all the time.

Shelby story is just sad.

Dear lord, that wheel!

I thought that was their intent with the high school reunion marketing thing.

Nobody forgot this. Might as well mention the Corolla while you are it.

Sounds like it man. I was just shopping for a sub-$4k pickup truck to do some hauling and I met some of the nicest people.
