This. She deserves this. Happy Mother’s Day. The only thing I’d put that out with is gasoline.

2000-2007 Volvo V70R.

If the speedo on one of those read in km/h, it has rusted to a fine dust by now my friend. Every Canadian example I have seen of a Protege/Protege5 had cancer around the back hatch and rear quarters unlike any other car I’ve seen from the naughties.

Seconded. Still have a 2004 example of these in the family fleet with 228K kms, 5 spd, no rust. Crap for Canadian winters, even with Blizzaks, but just a blast to drive and require no maintenance provided you can live with the occasional headlight auto level glitch.

At the risk of sounding like an Apple snob, I hope to God your life savings > cost of iPhone. Might as well just jump off that bridge today if you have less than $1,300 to your name.
