'91 Volvo station wagon turbo 740, a peach of a car most of the time, probably the best car I've ever had, if not the most absolute fun. On money, my finances are hilarious. I seriously need to get going on craigs list, ebay, amazon books, garage sales, etc. Or at least start buying lottery tickets.

To go on about the volvo - it has the old heavy steel body, combined with near all around windows (good for someone like me who because of my peripheral vision stuff has lifelong compensated by always always looking this way and that as I drive.) I bought it used in '99 from the guy who was the sound man on "Something about Mary", who'd taken really good care of it. Still has only 120,000 miles, nothin' for a volvo, or at least nothin' for one of the old type volvos. (Good car, she says, virtually petting the hood...)

Murmuring further, I think the most absolute fun car I've ever had (have had something like 13 cars) was the red fiat 124 spyder in 1974, convertible, used, always leaked transmission fluid. A cheapo take on what I really wanted, which was a navy alfa romeo convertible.

I dated a guy who had a Fiat Spyder, older model probably late '60s. His was yellow.
