You are heading down the Road I did.
Now I am 32 with 4 kids.

 

I am 30 going on 31 on September 13, 2007.

 

25, soon to be 26 (may 31, 2006)...i've had my 240 wagon since i was 18 and i will driVE IT INTO THE GROUND!!!!!!!!! Then restore it with a 350 V8 and a 5 speed....


......i had a 87 cavalier once before that though....'we' called it the hoopty ride. Once, i tipped a 5 gallon container of diesel fuel over in the truck (don't ask how it got there).......WOW, let me tell ya'll something. There is NO air frshener in the world that can get ride of THAT funk. 'We' used to take it off roading all the time. Which is probably why the shocks blew out and one of the springs broke...of coarse that could have been because of the jump i took it off in the high school parking lot. I got that piece off all four wheels! Rumor has it i could have jumped a small dog! ......sigh, two days later the water pump exploded and i left it on the side of the road. It sat there, on highway 62 downtown Minneapolis, for a week and a half i think before they finnaly impounded it.

.......memories.....

Anyways.

21, been driving 1 1/2 years

Cars (I've owned) in order

1.) 98 "T" reg Seat Ibiza 1.4 (Wrote it off in October last year - went into the back of someone)
2.) 97 "R" reg Peugeot 1.9 TD (just sold it).
3.) 95 "N" reg Volvo 850 T5 saloon (~£1100 insurance)

The volvo is unfortunately an auto but all the rest are manual.

My parents have always had volvos so I wanted to get one as soon as I could afford the insurance.
