Volvos seem to run a long, long time. My favorite European car mechanic told
me he hates them because there is no technology in them that wasn't available
on a tractor 50 years ago (excepting the intercooled turbo and more recent
fwd models). As a result, they just go and go. There are a few old ones
around here in salt land, too. They're boxy and goofy looking, but ya gotta
love that! I've almost bought them as daily drivers, but the non-turbos are
a lot slow.
