Is that a Volvo?

We were initially thinking we would be able to do without a car in the US. HAH! Not in this car orientated society. The cars and the petrol are extremely cheap. We got this 1989 Volvo 740 station wagon for $500 US and petrol is about 50c a litre.

We have just come back from a drive up to New Hampshire then just slightly into the bottom of Maine. Check out the gallery for the new pics of the trip, the car and my study (all that office furniture brand new for $170!).

I suppose a hat and tweed jacket is next? :)

Don't let them get to you Daniel; the Volvo is a fine stately vehicle and I am sure that you will turn the tide of opinion that is cruelly deprecatory of Volvo drivers. Stiff upper lip, old chap. With a car that safe, you are certain to out-live your critics. It must be comforting to know that, should things go bad on the political front, you will survive the initial blast.

I'm guessing you drive a Volvo David :)

Is it just me or are there more Volvos on the road now?
