I'd like to take a poll here. I too own an Old Volvo (which is a secondary car, and no its not my wife's car... she has an Acura), so I'm curious how many VeeDubbers also drive/drove Volvos? I know several other VeeDubbers who also own/owned a Volvo. Something fishy is going on here. I smell a conspiracy. Jason 68 Notch and 86 Volvo (see?! The years are transposed from one another. Conspiracy I tell you) ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Martinez, Leon" <martinezl@ftscpac.navy.mil> Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2001 08:45:13 -0700 > >I have stopped driving this car for now.
