He is also an extremely nice guy. When I was a senior in high school in 1993 (at his alma mater TC Williams in Alexandria, VA) he came and spoke with our drama class. 

It is amazing how difficult it is to read an article on this site. 

Maybe the red color is to help maintain one’s night vision while driving?  Of course the headlights might have a deleterious impact on that.

Not a lot of info in this article.  Best compared to what?

I live in an area with a lot of Volvo owners. I can think of 5 dealerships within a 30 minute drive. There is a recall for the door handles on my V60 and when I spoke to one dealership they had received parts to do 18 cars and had no idea when they will be getting more parts. The other dealership had zero parts and…

I sat in the front row to see him at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA two nights in a row. The second night, as he tuned his guitar on the stage he looked down and said “Nice to see you again.” I almost passed out. After the second show the owner, whom I knew, introduced me to him in the pool room of the venue. I was…

No more ridiculous than a senior citizen in a 1973 Corvette. With matching socks.

I find it to be money that is the hardest thing to come by for old cars. Original okay condition door cards for a 1987 El Camino? $500.  Aftermarket ABS door cards?  $500.  I can find the parts all day long, but I can’t find it within myself to pay for them.

The most amazing thing is that you were able to find some sucker with $2000 to buy that garbage pile. 

I have a suspicion:  Vette

Corvair just too many letters to type out?

Spend a day swapping in one of the approximately 4 million Volvo T5 engines built between 2001 and 2011. 30 seconds of searching shows they are available for under $600.

Are you talking overall height or ground clearance? I was referring to ground clearance. The Venza has 8.1"and the Aerton has 5.4"according to what I saw. That difference is actually 2.7".

The Venza is actually only 3.1"taller, but thanks for all the facts. 

Nope. For instance, Volvo used the following naming scheme for their 240 series: 242 was a two door sedan, 244 was a four door sedan and the 245 was a five door wagon.

1. VW

It seems a bit Venza-like in it’s proportions, especially in that rear 3/4 shot. $50,000 for a VW is a lot of cash. You are solidly into Volvo V60 pricing and just getting into V90 pricing. Both of those cars are far better looking than this one and have far nicer interiors than the sleep-inducing interior of a…

How was Tulsa?

It’s not hard. Your life is the sum of your choices.

Right, which is why you are effectively buying it from the bank that holds the lien.  I’m not sure what the issue is with that?
