Ever feel like you have a volvo addiction?? Of course you do. Why else would you spend half your waking life thinking about, working on, talking about or driving volvos. So........yeah. I bought another volvo. That makes 4 volvos in my driveway. I need help!!! I scour the Craigslist ads like a crackhead looking for his next fix! Most nights, I actually dream about Volvos. I've owned like 15 volvos in the last 4 years.
OK, on to my latest relapse. I bought this 88' 740 turbo with manual transmission and 178k for $300 today. It needs a new starter......that's it. Starts about 50% of the time and just clicks the other 50%. Everything works, and the motor is really, really strong. Wait a minute dammit!!! I'm doing it again! I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not an addict. What step of recovery is aknowledgement??? Whichever one it is, I'm working on THAT one. What's even worse is that I don't even like 740 sedans! They look a little like friggin' Buicks! I know there are going to be some pissed off people about that last statement, but hey, it's undeniable. They're good cars, I'm just a 240 guy.
Anyways, I don't know. At least my addiction isn't to drugs, alchohol, gambling or prostitutes....................Well....ok.....maybe I DID have a little problem with that last one, but I'm better now. I swear!!!!
