To answer volvolugnut's questions...
1) I've owned 15 cars, so far...
2) I currently own 1, just my 01 S60. (I still need to post some good pics of it up here.)

Doug: 40 years ago this week I bought my first Volvo, a 1982 242 DL. The base model with a/c as the only option. Manual trans, hand crank windows, cloth seats. Yes! The first thing I did after bringing it home was to get a kick ass stereo for it. Bought it at Nils Sefeldt Volvo in Houston TX. Nils was the first person to import Volvos to the US back in the 1950s.

Do you think Doug is here on MVS? He’d be what, 60 to 70?

He could be in his 50s, if he a) mowed lawns all day and night back then to make money, and b) was very large for his age.

But yea, 60s I'd guess. He's not on here as far as I know.
