Default I should start a car lot.

I just thought this was a fun picture. Three in a row. My wagon, my donor T-5R and a GLT from a guy that bought the front end of the donor car that I graciously swapped for him.

Default I should start a car lot....

...with only 2 Volvos of your own? Don't even think about it until you have at least 4! I currently have 7: 4 XC70s (only 1 is a parts car); 1 V70R; 2 850s. Let me know if you want photo proof.

Sounds fun until the insurance and registration bills come due. My best friend in Atlanta has 9 cars. Three used to be mine, 86 Jag XJ6, 77 280Z, 86 Porsche 944 Turbo and then 6 others.....87 Covette Vert, 93 Landrover Discovery, 93 300ZX vert, 94 BMW 325, 93 Stealth and 90 Saab 900s Turbo.

Here they are...but not lined up.

First photo - red 850 on left, stripped XC70 on right giving its transmission up.
Second photo - V70R
Third photo - 3 XC70s - 1 awaits the transmission, others await head work.
Not in photo - silver 850 wagon that my son took to college.

And yes, they are mine. I don't run a repair business from my garage, although it looks like I do.

When I had 4 cars and 3 drivers my insurance company started calling me up and giving me a hard time. I can't imagine 7.

If only I had more than one parking space. I can guarantee it that there would be another 850 next to mine. Or maybe my wagon would be sitting there, then I could start working on it now. Oh man, I can only dream.

Ahh! That's sweet! Between the wife and me we have 4...I have my 94 850 turbo, 1971 Chevy truck, and my 1966 VW bug. The wife has the Mercury Milan (boring haha) The thought has already crossed my mind to pick up another "kid hauler" and mod the **** out of the 850. Though the bug is pretty fast, this turbo is a different "fast" LOL I would love to have more than one Volvo, I'm hooked!
