She and I spoke for a bit about it, how some have white roofs and some have black, and how much she loves the red w/ black roof, and I agreed. It’s so wonderful to talk to people about their car, Volvo or not. Especially if they’re not a car person.

It’s a more innocent kind of love and auto enthusiasm, absent the scope and heartache of the inevitable problems that will come, and that’s ok. It’s pure and awesome, and very rewarding to me.

Wut is this?! Factory one-off? A custom conversion?
That windshield post to door curve reminds me of the old Jeepster.

A friend saw this growing out of the ground in Texas. They must have good soil.
