Thought you gals might appreciate my new classic car-
I figured if i got it, it would be the push I need to finally get my driver's license  The fella's a volvo mechanic, so in 6 months it'll look like a brand new car. I can't wait to start cruisin' the country roads round here. And since it's a wagon, country auctions here I come 
1965 Volvo Amazon Wagon - A beauty!

| Nice car! We have always driven Chrysler wagons from the early 70s, but with gas prices so high we've had to modernize. We have a 1989 Volvo 245 right now. What kind of mileage does your wagon get? |

No clue about mileage Amie, it's not driving yet ;) But our grand plans are for this summer to make it ride-able, and next summer to convert it to electric! You can buy kits to convert your car, the fella is really looking forward to that project! :)

Meg,
I dream of a 57 Chevey Bel-air Nomad station wagon.. So I can totally appreciate your new wheels - to date it is only a powder blue and white die cast that sits on my desk ! But some day, and of course it will have to run on biofuel! R
