[quote=Ricechex]LOL….BF is an early 1970’s model…said he is a “pinto” because of exploding rear end. Says I am a “volvo”–reliable, dependable, and just keeps ticking. Something to be said for dem older models….[/quote]

Pinto, eh? Those were all recalled a while back, I thought, for obvious safety reasons…

I dunno, the new Volvo’s are looking pretty sleek (there is even a convertible model) and I guess they have some extra power under the hood now? Anyone with real car knowledge out there that can give more detail? And I like the safety features on their SUV.
