New baby = New Car

I've got my trusty 1990 Volvo 240DL (aka 73 year old widowed librarian magnet) and the wife has a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage (aka P.O.S.). With the birth of Nuts Jr. last week it was time to upgrade. Of course the Volvo will run for at least another 500,000 miles with no problems, so we got rid of the wife's car today and bought a 2000 Volvo V70 X-County Turbo. Wooo Hoooo. Ya, it's black but I got the guy down from 22k to 18k and it's fully loaded with only 36k miles. Oh ya, and Volvo Certified with warranty.

So, with two Volvos and a wife and kid, should I just give up now? Is this it? Have I finally become so domesticated? Man, I need to watch Robocop and have a beer.

As least you don't have a minivan yet. That's the defining nail in the coffin.

is that a wagon?

It's not a van, but it's definately a station wagon. ;)

That is the only the first step young Nuts, there is much more domestication to come.

Nice!

You can't go wrong with a Swedish Brick. I almost bought a C70 a couple years back.

Nice !! I traded up my 83 242 for a 96 854T and love it. It was an awesome car for touring. My friends got an XC 01 or 02 I can't remember but he's very happy with it.

Hi, My name is JD and I like volvo's :D but now I drive a Ford.
