It’s looking bleak for Mr 960.

Thank you so much Abscate! To those of you who have never owned or driven a 960 and think it's just a 940 with a 6 cylinder shoved under the hood. Please watch this video! Then you may understand why our brother is so pleased with his new to him 960! June

P.S. Abscate it is funny no woman driver shown as Volvo was the Soccer Mom's car of choice back in 1995! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
When our last two went to kindergarten it was at a local Montessori school. We had 20 parents at drop off.
Out of the 20 cars, 7 were Volvos, 5 v7os, 2 960s
