My head says to stick with a practical newer car (we have a Toyota), but my heart and belly are really telling me to go for one of these...
This one looks nearly identical to the Volvo we had some years back. Her name was Olive and she broke down on me on the freeway. But I still love and miss her- the interior was all original and even had an AM radio that played Perry Como and Benny Goodman. Can't beat that.
