#(*$(#&(#&#(&(@ Cash wasting junk piles.

Now - '89 Volvo 240 something (4 door boxy sedan - chalky red) - purchased on ebay.

Next - When I have to abandon this one, we'll see what else comes up on ebay. However, I've had decent luck buying swedish cars post depreciation and driving them to death.
