Rich sporty people. these things were 35,000 in 1995 dollars. 1995 was a recession period too. 88 to 99 if I remember right.then three good years and then dot bomb 2002. a couple good years then 2007. now its due again. Please shoot me. this time around you won't want to be here if marginally employed. be eating grass like the n Koreans, but we have taxes and loans so it wont be in a house. At least they have a house. but I digress.
:shock: :lol:

For some reason old Volvo's congregate in my driveway, which happens to be in CT.
Maybe I shouldn't mention that I bought a brand new XC in 99.

OK, you can ban me now.

Wow. I'd like to thank my wife and my mom for always believing in me... Thank you so much for this award :lol:

No but seriously I can't believe it went for so much. I was grossly over shooting in my mind bc it was in such mediocre condition. But 3450? Wow.

On a lighter note they need about $2000 in maintenance parts so maybe we'll get a new form member!

It could have been 3150, I wasn't able to see the knock down price if some one bid the last 4 seconds.
