Still don't know why, but the 240 series will always have a special place in my heart.

(funny detail: Ask any kid around the world to draw a car, and they draw a volvo 240)

I still want one, even though they've all been driven ti hell and back.

They were designed to do that on the regular. Especially Volvo's polar editions were built to withstand just about any condition and kept simple and barebones for that reason.

Yeah, but even the most durable cars wear out eventually. And most of them were probably not taken care of super well, especially by like the third or fourth owner...
