Pitiful... 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be SteveW on  Thu Nov 13 01:47 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I know how it goes. Over the years, I've had a two 122's and a 544 as daily drivers, and still have a 445 that was the family car when my children were born. But, I live in northern Vermont, so my current daily driver is an Audi A4 quattro. Its quiet, has a heater that cranks the btu's, has unbeatable-in-the-snow 4 wheel-drive, and best of all, the galvanized body helps keep the car rust-free until its paid for.

However, as I head off for work each morning, I still wish I was driving my 1800 once in a while. Modern cars seem to isolate you from the driving experience, and I think the thing that we all appreciate about old Volvos is the fundamental-ness of driving them. Basic, simple, reliable, and possible to work on by mere mortals without special tools and an OBD-II code reader in their back pocket.
