A short and sweet update on the Coupe saga...I am learning to love my car more and more for a few reasons:
1. Driving 172 miles ranging from 85 to 100 mph (topping off at 95 mph) with the sunroof and the passenger side window open, burning only a 1/4 tank of gas, making slow traffic move right and not feeling the road in my feet or seat = exhilarating.
2. Even with a trunk the size of a shoebox, I was able to stuff 6 letter size boxes plus the overnight bag.
3. It feels like a two-seater
4. The stereo system bumps!
Why I love the Volvo:
1. distinct (and yes, extinct) style - square box style - but what sets mine apart from most others on the road - I have the dual headlights, whereas the newer 240s had a single headlamp.
2. its a smooth ride. Although the overdrive is out, at 70 mph it glides down the highway.
3. its heavy and can take a corner without having to slow down to 35
4. trunk large enough to stow two bodies
5. it fits in my one-car garage!
So, I think the ultimate balance will be to drive each car for a full week. This week is the fighter jet's turn. Next week - Beans and I will hit the road.
I guess I better post some pics, eh?
