At last count he's clocked over 2,900,000 miles on the Volvo 1800 S coupe he purchased back in 1966 and is aiming for a cool three.

Nice- I have a pv544 with the same engine- but the counter has only 5 digits so I don‘t know how many times a 99999 showed up :)
flamecoloredskies
I still have the key to my old 740. Love that car
JustHereToFactYouUp
Still a Vo though

I had a '85 740. I used to give a coworker a ride home. His full size mountain bike fit the trunk in one piece, wheels on.

97' S40, beaten to shit by Americans; transmission rebuild, new breaks and fuel pump later, still running fine. Shitty mileage though.

I loved my volvo-- it was practically a tank. It's now being used as a beginner car for my niece- only the safest for her! <3
Denturedog
What kind of black man drives a Volvo? One concerned about his safety!
RespectTheNull
Volvo. A car you can believe in.

I love my 240, when it runs, and the wheels dont want to fall off. https://www.instagram.com/p/BaA1WmHAzbK/?taken-by=pcplushie

Volvo 240, a car with more magical powers than Takumis 86.
TOTOAFRICA
There's a pretty good Regular Car Reviews video about the 240

Had a white 240 sedan. Loved that damn car.

I only recently realised that the volvo badge is the symbol of the male sex ♂️. Ironically though it sounds a bit like vulva!

Lived on military base; a Volvo ran yellow-taped intersection that a tank was being trucked thru, just as tank rolled off back of truck ->

and rear end landed on Volvo's roof. No injuries. Volvo still looked driveable.

So, each Volvo NK stole is worth 300 000 ?

Even with interest that's pretty absurd

every time my father sees one like in #3 he says it looks like a hearse

The (lack of) aerodynamics contribute for their nickname "gasoline crematorium"

Do those have to be two separate things?

I think they're one of the sexiest cars on the road now.

You can fit a whole kennel in the trunk!

Haha my Lab had a litter of puppies in the back of my mom's Volvo station wagon.

Is Volvo a thing now? This feels like an advertisement by Volvo.
ThemotherfuckingTeresaofdeathmetal
Some of them are, but I don’t work for Volvo I just feel so happy knowing that I have 5 of theese babies on my yard
StonerCatJay
It's working, I have a need to get a Volvo now.
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
As someone who has owned a few; they're fucking tanks. Bit pricey though.
WhattaYaLookingFor
It is a thing. Had an 850 for a while, would buy again in a heart beat, but I got a stupid all expense VW from the company.
brickgeek
Yes! God damn do I love some nice bricks. Thank you for posting this.
therealnimo
Parents had a 240 DL when I was growing up then we upgraded to a 850. Great cars. Not sure about the quality now since China owns them
ThemotherfuckingTeresaofdeathmetal
They are still manufactured in Sweden so no worries!
therealnimo
The 240 we had for 15 years. My dad got t boned by an 18 wheeler and he was fine. All the windows shattered from impact and there was (1/1)
therealnimo
Minimal frame damage. Seriously a Scandinavian tank car (2/2)
ILiekToCookAndBake
What's that 5 banger pulstar hatchback they make? Has stupid horses out of the factory
brokenLS1
04-07 V70R/S70R had a slightly modified version of the engine in the previous focus RS. 2.5L I5T, 300hp 300tq
yorkie62
What is it? $70,000?
ILiekToCookAndBake
More like 20k if you can find one
shimmernshine
2012 C30 Polestar Limited Edition. Turbocharged I5 making 250hp and 275 lb-ft, though it feels like a lot more.
ILiekToCookAndBake
Yeah, I want me one of them. With a big fat ORP. And a bigger turbo.

I had a Volvo 145 in the '80s. Some dip in a dressup truck thought he could force me into the oncoming traffic. He missed the bridge.
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
"Dressup truck" is an excellent term which I will gladly steal.
ThemotherfuckingTeresaofdeathmetal
Got backed on by a truck once, the truck dented but my 740 was fine
TheyCallMeTheHiphopopotamusIgotFlowsThatGlowLikePhosphorous
explain please
david42
He was on the shoulder trying to pass, when he saw the bridge, he tried to push me over. I didn't budge and he ended up in the creek.
atesomebadfugu
Volvo owner, can confirm.
ThemotherfuckingTeresaofdeathmetal
I own 5! A 244,745,744,850 and v60
thecannoli
My dad had an 850. Saved his life when he was broadsided by a jacked up truck. Love those cars
SamaelTheVenomOfGod
I got a 760 turbo when I was a teenager. That thing was one hell of a tough little brick. I loved it.
Uglytool
I only have one, V70XC. Teaching my daughter car upkeep so she can pass it on to her kids some day.
atesomebadfugu
Have had 2 XC70s, an XC90 (V8, miss that one), a 240.. Down to a V40. And always looking for a S60R 6MT..

spaceowl93
I have one a s60 she’s from 2005 but she’s like a rocket!

Volvo and Saab, its ridiculous how safe the Swedes are. Volvo currently is looking to be the first to sell a car where no one dies. 1/2

current owner of my second saab, can safely say they are goddamn tanks.

As top gear points out they are tanks. https://youtu.be/_9fw9nou_G8

As a guy who has rolled in a few Saab's, they really are
zzzdfield
Had a 72 wagon, Subaru now
slashleylizette
How do you like your Subaru?? I’m wanting to get a good used one
macintop
Had a 03 Outback, it was a tank, most of the car was original. When to a 2015 Corsstrek (needed something smaller with better fuel economy)
WombatTheMad
We own a 2012 Forester and she puts up with a lot of Winter storm abuse here in New England. AWD really comes in handy.
zzzdfield
I like it a lot, 2013 forester 6 speed manual ???? I’d stay away from the cvt trans. The older auto trans were fine.
SteevyT
I fucking love my '17 Impreza. 5-speed with a hatch. It barely even notices the snow, and I love the way it corners.
bohjeenie
Not Swedish any more so quality is about to take a nosedive...
Flamboyatron
Owned by a Chinese company, but still made in Sweden. That said, I won't get another one when mine dies.
Euin
I work on them for a living and can tell you the new cars are WAY better than the old ones
bohjeenie
Fair do's, just usually when I see a company taken over by China, they just want the name for brand entry of their goods.
Euin
Dont know about that but the chinese seems to invest heavely in Volvo. Dont think Volvo has ever been in a better position honestly
