>1974 142 - it has been every where - through ice storms etc. My favorite car! Also have a 1978, 1980 and 1984. I took my wife to the hospital for each of our two children to be born. Lots of memories. I got rear ended by a muni bus in San Francisco. No problem with my car but the bus was put out of commission when its front bumper was crushed. What a laugh that was - after it was over!

Wow.. four Volvos. <g> I really like the one I now have but for me I think I'm first of all attracted to Eurpoean automobiles, then sian, then domestic. I learned to drive on a MGB FT back in 1968-9 and have always been of the opinion (rightly or wrongly) that Europeans have a better 'sense' of the art of constructing an automobile. Probably me just being emotional.. <g>
