Well, I don’t doubt your enthusiasm because I see my own enthusiasm in it. But I’m not alone on making these decisions anymore. Almost bought that new-ish 940, and look at that 740!

Very little. I’ve been a Volvo nerd since the age of 13, and I’ve owned my share. A Volvo would be my #1 choice of classic car again, when the kids grow up and I have the time and money to pursue such a hobby.

Sold my classic 1971 Volvo 145 because my wife was pregnant. As a “serious” car I bought a then-eight-year-old 2002 Citroën Xsara wagon. The only issue was that the car didn’t manage to get up our 33-degree-driveway when the engine was cold. So I had to resell it again. Found someone who paid a full 1200$ more than I…

And it was a Morris, too? Holy macaroni!

White only.

Why don’t they have a Mini Van? Way to claim a word for itself, and hipsters do occasionally pop out bearded babys, too.

Is any [insert name]-GM-machine as good as Ford’s?

I am completely in agreement with you. My mother-in-law has one and it is like driving a cream cake with straws. The car also has some odd arrangement to get it started; I got stranded twice because I simply couldn’t turn it on.

A pre-flight-diet of beans and onions might shave off a couple of cents on the airport scale.

I don’t know, these are very heavy vehicles, very odd choices for work vehicles if you look at the space allocation. One would need some sort of support in the bed in order to stack them like that.

Classic idea:

This was surprisingly fantastic reading! Wow.

Battleship Galactica with lane departure warning. But is it networked? What a strange only-in-America-vehicle.

Well, I’m a Norwegian citizen and let’s just say the “asshat-threshold”™ is significantly lower here because of a generally somewhat civilized approach to driving and social interaction in general. So even if this isn’t dashcam-Russia, some people deserve to be called that way. And park-o-phobia is real: 431 photos of…

That’s a lot of broken dishes right there.

Gunpowder!

All hail Clive.

Usually, I just powerwash the car from the left, then from the right, notice that everything is half-clean, and consider myself finished. Since I am certain that there’s a minor vacuum leak somewhere in this Honda bay, a proper cleanup might be nice. So...in a 2002 engine, the alternator is everything that needs…

As a kid, I was happy enough when the school bus got stuck in the snow before it came to us. Total destruction is better though. Good for GDP, too.

The Lada 1200 was based on the Fiat 124, with a lot of small differences:
