A dream, a Volvo, and Midlife.

I have a dream, of driving a sporty Volvo 240 sedan or wagon on exciting road trips to marvelous locales. But not just any sporty 240. A Frankenstein Volvo…ah…ahh..oooh. A custom job. Better than from the factory even. Why Volvo 240? At my age it seems appropriate. A little simplicity, a little fun, some reliability and safety, a touch of toughness, a bit of classic style and a dash of different. That’s me. That’s a 240.

Something like these:
