“mechanical, deep in the engine, and cancer-serious.” Maybe you’ve never had cancer/known someone who has, but there’s nothing ‘cancer-serious’ except cancer. I generally enjoy your articles but that’s some real WTF bad taste— it’s such a bad, desperate joke it actually stopped me reading the rest of the article.

Frua? Personally I think the P1800 (especially in coupe form) was sort of an unappealing, incongruent abberation for Volvo; neither Swedish nor Italian, it’s design seems disconnected, irrelevant, maybe even a bit generic. Seriously, if it was a Datsun/Frua would it look any different?
