There's a classified ad in Artvoice this week for this:

1987 Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon. 148k miles, all options that year, aluminum rims with extra set of snows. On the road, runs good $1500/BO.

I can't even express how much I totally want it.

Except, only if it's standard. I hate automatic transmissions. (Note: the Prius does not have an automatic transmission. It has a continuously variable transmission. This is a crucial difference and one which many people overlook. I do not.)

If I had that car I would paint it up in my team colors or something. Maybe stencil a wolfscape on there, something like that.

Also I just posted to treigylgweith as a sort of monument to mark that I've actually started writing again, something newish. Good for me. We'll see if I can keep it up. If nothing else, that post will be a marker so later I can go back and say "I haven't written since ___". [/pessimism]

Wow, those Volvo station wagons never die.

If you have the cash, I'd totally go for it. You need a car.

Awesome! Think you'll get it?

It seems to me that Volvos, especially of that time, are usually standard. I can be wrong of course.
