The Volvo appeared undamaged.
So it’s not her fault?...he was already dead? That’s some tough drama!

Spoiler alert! The teenagers were not involved. A serial killer had stabbed the guy multiple times and he was the walking wounded. We saw the intro again today. The 245 had the typical cracked dash.

I spotted a Volvo at the Costco gas. Nice 244 sedan. Man said it was his wife's and she won't sell it, it won't die. He has a P2 wagon.

A parking lot near me always has a lovely gold 244 and a handsome P80 XC70 in 421 Dark Olive Pearl. I've never noticed them move in years. Recently, the XC70 parked near the 244, so I sidled up next to my more rugged twin and took these pictures.

Having finally stopped to look closely at the cars, the 244 has a jug under its engine (perhaps catching dripping fluid) and a rotor next to it (perhaps helping keep the jug upright). The XC70 had all three wiper arms removed, sitting in the trunk and the 244 has its front wipers removed. Really makes me wonder if the same person owns both and "is getting around to fixing them."

A few days later, I saw a P80 towing a small boat and a W210 chassis Mercedes E320 sedan in the same lovely green color as my E320 wagon, in the same area but at different times. A week later, I saw a W212 chassis Mercedes E350 wagon similar to one I'd like to buy in that same place. On a single recent drive, I saw three first gen / X100 Jaguar XK8. It's summer time so all my favorite cars have come out to play.

Speaking of the boat guy, look who's back! I slid in for a "car selfie".

I saw a beautiful white XC70 at PT today. A little old lady was driving it. Not sure what year it was, but it looked spotless.

That is a skinny boat with a large mouth. Wonder if they stock the bow door gasket at FCP.
