Glad to see you folks around. Personally I had to abandon Volvo as the 'P2' models became the value priced option. I stopped lurking as my garage changed to Volkswagen, and now "vintage" Subaru. I remember old voices and old friends no longer with us. Opinions was always a good place to sip morning coffee and listen and think and learn. The uncivilized debate goes back to the days of Kermit and Tom...and dear Cynthia whom I could not stay long enough to help. Thanks to those who did...

Did we lose that common-bond respect when the cars became as fractured as the politics? There was a healthy anti-FWD sentiment also Ford hate. but now there are seven generation of Volvo production and at least 4 variations of our two party political system. I am ashamed of my naivete, as I have aged.

I will be back, hopefully soon as I add a classic wagon and a new V60xc to the fleet. 2016 felt like a return to pre-Ford asthetic my wish is to talk with old and new again. My respect and good wishes for all of you in 2018
