Hey man. I had my first 240 when i was 15, and one week shy of my 20th b-day, i'm about to buy my third tomorrow. Oh ya, and i have a '66 122 sitting in the driveway as well. I love 'em! It's pretty easy to keep 'em going, but i find that the pre '86 versions are a better option for kids our age. Much simpler in my mind, and less stuff to go wrong. If you want simplicity and are in canada, go for a carbureated model (a DL), that's the one i've been driving daily for two years now, nothing major has ever broken on her. BUT, i found a 242GLT, and she's coming home tomorrow, so the DL must be sold.......

Best advice though, get the bentley and haynes books, and while you're at auto wreckers (you're new home away form home) get any little thing possible. That's saved my @$$ many times now, especially little bulbs and such.

Basically, GET A VOLVO!!! You won't regret it. Let us know how it goes!!!
