I just love the image of a B230 proceeding down the freeway by itself, eternally Rolling along. :)

Really, not much different than what happened to all my old Beetles, and what I'm NOT going to allow to happen to my '70 Bus. If it wasn't for rust, all of these well designed, cheap to maintain cars would be around forever. Witness the vehicles surviving in California. Connecticut is particularly tough on sheetmetal. If there's a weak spot, it will be found in a few years of use here. It's a credit to VOlvo's engineers that the cars last HERE as long as they do. That reputation has a LOT to do with my observation that roughly 1 in 8 cars that pass by in CT is a Volvo. COmpare that to national sales of -what? 1% of new vehicles sold in the USA? They're everywhere, they're everywhere! :)
