I miss my old 240 Wagon. I sold it before moving to Minnesota. There aren't any here, since they all rusted to pieces years ago.

I gotta nice '88 with only 240,000 miles and only a little rust that I could let go... cheap!

I gotta a not-quite-so-nice '87 with 210,000 miles and a little more rust that could be a lovely parts car. I'll throw that in for free!

Sounds like it's almost broken-in. I think I'll wait. Let me know when it gets to 300,000. I prefer fully broken-in Volvos.

If you have the owner's manual for that '88, look at the section on the dashboard instruments. It says, "The odometer registers miles traveled up to 999,999, then begins again." I love that line.
