At age 16 I had an ‘86 740 Turbo wagon. Three turbo rebuilds later, and after passing 200K miles, I inherited mom’s ‘92 740 Turbo wagon. I have yet to drive anything since that so elegantly merged safety, practicality, and driving enjoyment. We had an 850R that was quick, and V70 reminiscent of the older wagons, but…
Well, I’m still driving my 98' V90 around with 265K on the odo. Now I feel so attached to it that I would feel terrible getting rid of it. Kind of like the mangy old dog that is now peeing on your carpet, but he’s such a part of the family that no one can do anything about it.
Honestly, the older I get... the more I realize that my mom was right. Maybe a Volvo wagon is the only car I’ll ever need....
I mean its not insane to suggest that he maybe should not have been vacationing during the playoffs.
Are you kidding? The brakes on 240's were some of the best in the world. Volvo was putting 6 circuit 4 wheel disc brakes on cars in the fucking 1970's. American manufactures were barely getting into putting dual circuit discs on the front and that was probably due to gov’t/public pressure. And crash worthiness? …
1992 240s have a B230f with 112hp
My favorite car color:
It makes me so happy to see Volvo continue to shove boxes through the wind at ridic speeds ♡♡♡
Yall are so mean to LeBron about his hair. I hope you never get male pattern baldness and then get laughed at on subway by a bunch of teenagers while staring longingly at some ridiculous hair treatment ad.

Man, NPR has been dialing up the sports coverage lately....
Seriously. Fuck Mike and Mike.
What else do they have to talk about, the Jets and Fighting Irish are so abysmal that they defy even half-hearted anguish, and 49 minutes of every Mike & Mike hour is devoted to reading ads anyway.
Duke looks great. The Cowboys might be the best team in the NFL. The Red Sox got Sale. This is a fucking apocalypse of bad sports things. I swear to god if Penn State had gotten into the playoffs, I’d have to give sports up for good.
Am I the only one who sees Jay Bruce as an obvious fit for the O’s? The Mets are dying to get rid of him and would probably take next to nothing for him. He can smack 30-35 dongs and DH a bit. And at $13m for next year, the price is right.
Overrated ass clown.
Bawlmor fans are very strange. They still boo Teixeira, despite the fact that he clearly did them a massive favor by snubbing them for the Yankees.
This virtually guarantees Aroldis Chapman gets a comically-oversized check from the Yankees.
