Yesterday I saw Celia, our first Volvo, a 1988 745 GLE drive away. We purchased her 8 years ago and my daughter put 120,000 miles on her, often loaded to the hilt.

They traveled from Massachusetts to Edmonton twice and Saskatchewan once, toured the west coast twice, and North Carolina one winter. Two years ago, my second daughter joined my first on a west coast tour. Celia was so full that Chris had to mail three boxes home so that Sharon could use the passenger seat!

Serving a budding wildlife biologist, Celia was a model Volvo, always putting her shoulder to any task. I'll never forget how much mud she had on her the first time back from Edmonton, the wheels had "bowls" of mud inside them, I had to chop it out with a piece of wood and a hammer! Her new rotors were nearly gone! She still oozes a but of mud from the tailgate when she goes through a car wash, four years later.

While we are sad, she went to a good home, and I found out that her new mistress took her to the beach today!
