They both get 18 MPG, but I had a lot more fun burning the gas in the Volvo.triphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016509250780872972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090426965177502805.post-8775733334466796502010-01-13T16:34:24.219-05:002010-01-13T16:34:24.219-05:00Ha, just got a Volv as the 4Runner ("Ho Runna...Ha, just got a Volv as the 4Runner ("Ho Runna") was dismissed as being unsafe by Dad.<br /><br />And I laughed out loud at your comment on my post. I got bit by NYC back in the days I used to live up there and do ballet in the summers. Before I settle here, I really just need ONE more year up there to get it out of my system. And a lot more substantial wardrobe, apparantly. Brr.<br /><br />p.s. ATL is on my list...

Wife had a V70 wagon in 1998 and I hated that thing with a passion. All this car talk (here and another place this morning) makes me long for a vintage Eurotrash sedan with manual transmission and black vinyl interior...BMW 320i comes to mind.

It was built like a tank, but the $500 quarterly trips to the shop forced us to send her on her way.JRShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976047323631782367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090426965177502805.post-58675140240752026882010-01-13T01:02:04.657-05:002010-01-13T01:02:04.657-05:00your post-christmas postings have just been fabulo...your post-christmas postings have just been fabulous.

Too bad the suspension absolutely required the best seats in the business - stiff doesn't begin to describe the compression response. Deceptively quick, and no one noticed it - perfect combination.npmaslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334215083366416702noreply@blogger.com
