School me on older Volvos

[Projectjunkie]

GTFOutta here!

I wouldnt trust a $750 car to ride on my trailer Especially a decade old Volvo, from ford to the chinamen they've brought the suck.

I took the bait, I knew better

Eurotrash. There is a reason for that name.

Ok, so it's 15 degrees where your wife and kids are, the hoopty won't start, no heater, or alternately, it's 115 here, and no air conditioning, the tow truck is 90 minutes away, when it gets there, there isn't room for all the crotch fruit, so you're leaving work anyway. Oh, the hoopty is home now, now you've gotta fix it in 15deg weather, or 115 deg for me.

I've owned junk, and all my trucks are "old" 96, 03,04,05, all paid for, but I'm done with junk, it doesn't pencil out.

We're not gonna see eye to eye on this, it's ok.

*I have roadside on all of them



See above, it doesn't pencil out. Hourly was more money better benefits better quality of life. Maybe someday I'll go salary, but it won't be so I can drive unreliable shit boxes

All the crotch fruit?

I have one kid.

One.

There's always a minimum of 3 seats in a rollback wrecker.

And my shop is heated.

Anyone with an IQ above freezing is going to be able to pick up on the signs that some part of the car is on its way out and make the wife drive the other car while you fix it. If your non-running shitbox is non-running anywhere but your driveway it's because you're an idiot. I say buy it. You simply can't go wrong with any car that runs and drives at that price point.
