My car two nights ago
This is last night, I wanted to post this and share it with you just because its the most recent photo of the car, and I rarely take pictures of my car anymore. This car is still going strong. It needs to be maintained often however the car runs wonderful.
This is a 1982 Volvo 240 GL. I believe the engine in it is a B23E. I have been driving this car since I was 16. Sometimes I look at it and feel sorry for it, other times I look at it and think of all the fun it has given me just driving it around.
This summer I got a new means of transportation an RZ 350. I didn't drive the volvo for 2 months and everything went bad.
The gas line was spraying gas the tires were flat the brake pads were rusted to the rotors, the fuses were all corroded.
However. This car is just as fun as the bike. Its so comfortable, and even compared to newer cars like the 350z or a chevy cavalier, Sebring, bmw 328, bmw 530 something. I still love the way this car drives.
I wanted to share this with you, well, to those who care. I know many people dont. But I just like this picture from last night.
So comment, negative, positive or neutral.

Click the picture to enlarge it. It is a 2 meg file if you do. So 56k beware.
