@BЯдΖǐL-ЯЄРΘЯΤЄЯ: So did I, even though I'm not even half a year older. It has power windows, an electric tilt/sliding sunroof (unfortunately not a glass one, as those came later), power locks that work (my 244 has a wiring fault in the door, so I pulled the relay), and 15" alloy wheels (from an early 760). Modern…

I'm starting off the year with two Volvos, and hopefully ending it with the same two. The '89 244DL is stranded with what I think (I haven't been able to get down there in over a week...) is a jumped timing belt, and it needs various cosmetic work (a bit of surface rust repair, a good buff/wax/touch-up, some trim); if…

@SynthOno: It's an SL1, yeah - unpainted bumpers and hubcaps rather than alloy wheels.

Vans and Nashes are too obvious - what you want is a station wagon (estate car) with a flat-folding rear seatback. Sure, all I've done in the less-than-a-week that I've had my new beater 745T registered was cuddle a bit and sleep in the back - but hey, it's an eventuality that more is going to happen in there. And,…

@Incoherent: It's a Mazda, not a BMW - there are definitely turning lights activated by the stalk on the left.

@WarpedCore: "...And, boy, it fucks with him..."

I drive Volvos. This looks nice enough to me, and it's rare and in decent nick as well. Nice Price.

@V864: I could at least respect the car if they'd just kept the "Camry" name for it as they did for the '92-96 two-door.

@CrispyAardvark: I'm obligated to suggest a V70R (or maybe an XC90?... They both come in red) with Dave Barton's moose badges.

@pirhan: I know how the salt goes; New Hampshire winters are trying their damndest to eat one of my old Volvos. Old Japanese iron is even more susceptible, generally. The only other fault with 3.0 (3VZ-E) V6 first/second-generation 4Runners and pre-Tacoma pickups (Hiluxes) is the head gaskets, I've been told - haven't…

@GeeHalen: Well, I'd gladly take your place...

@MΩJΩ: The only 'pimp treatment' needed here is a strong back-of-the-hand to the seller's face.

Well, I guess it's not 'iron tough' after all.

As others have said, if the NOS bottle wasn't there, it'd be a Nice Price. Its presence means that either it's always left disconnected - making it a ridiculous poserrific accessory and indicating that he probably thinks that driving like a complete dick will impress either his tuner friends or da laydeez - or that…

@Spasticteapot: Ahh, okay. Yeah, that's normally a fair ballpark estimate for wagonisation - which often means weight distribution closer to 50/50, as a bonus. Hard to complain about that.

@tonyola: Indeed - I keep one in my wallet, ostensibly for food in case I really am flat broke, but more for the novelty value.

@Spasticteapot: I'd just get the wagon, weight be damned. I can't put my finger on why, but I've never cared for the Mk4 Jetta sedan - too ingrained in my mind as a sorority car, maybe. Or, well, a Golf would work.

@tonyola: I'm proud that I thought of this, and proud of you for thinking of it several hours earlier.

@PDQ2: The only time I've been passed by a Prius was the morning that I discovered that my overdrive had failed.

@DarwinsTestBanana: Any excuse to post this...
