Hello There Friend, Maybe It's Time For You To Buy This Volvo For $550
Hello There Friend, Maybe It's Time For You To Buy This Volvo For $550-August 2024

Hi. Hey. How are you? You seem well. You look, and you’ll excuse me for being a little forward here, like you could use a 1962 for $550.

Hm! An Amazon! Great cars those things. They’re like 1955 Chryslers built in miniature.

They came with stout inline four-cylinder engines with rear-wheel drive, and this one has a manual transmission. A car like this is about as simple a modern automobile as you can buy. Not much to go wrong. Not much in this thing but some cool vintage style.

It’s not in the best shape, but there’s not a ton to really un-screw-up either. The yard in Rancho Cordova out in NorCal selling this thing claims it runs and drives (I’m a little skeptical), but I’ll forgive it just about any faults for its low, low price.

Maybe it’s time for you to be an Amazon owner. I don’t know. I can’t tell you that. It’s a decision that you’re going to have to make. All I can tell you is that it’s and if it fills you with desire, perhaps you should follow your heart.

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...

Update: I'm Still Burning Money
When I I’d just picked it up from having Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 front and rear subframes grafted into its crumbling body. When the car came back to me in May, the clock started ticking. I had until mid-September to get the engine and transmission mounted in the car, clean...
