I'd really like to see what this miscrant is referring to as "many more reliable cars on the road" - Just today, alone, i counted 5 240's in operation and NOT in the far right hand lane, either. i would dare say there are more of this model of car still in use than ANY other late seventies to mid-eighties vehicle.

Let's also factor in one little idea here - When I go to the junk yard, i'm already breaking a sweat after walking the 2,000 feet to pass all the crummy Fords and GM and especially the god forsaken Cryslers just to get to the few Volvo's in stock.

Also - this person has never used the word "Enthusiast" in his life - otherwise he'd understand that this is the ONLY VOLVO SITE that's this concise and appreciable to the AVERAGE VOLVO OWNER - Let's see how well you computer is flooded with web pages concerning the puny Honda Civic if you should have a question about a repair situation.

It's not about getting a life or the value of the life - those are like opinions - it's the quality of life and quite frankly i'd much rather be in a cicle of like-minded individuals who SHARE a common interest in a unpopular activity... Beats standing around the parking lots at 3 a.m. waiting for the cops to shift change so i can race my "friends" and busting my neon lights in my under carriage... c'mon... Just cuz you don't see a movie trilogy of racing Volvos and BMWs and Audis with a phlemsy plot doesn't mean you gotta hate.

my 2 cents
