30. 17 year old Volvo V70 here
Thu Jun 27, 2019, 10:57 PM
Jun 2019

and my neighbor across the street owns the best Volvo repair shop in the county. Almost at 200K miles and still running great. I'm planning to curate it and keep it as long as possible, as it doesn't have all the latter-day narcware and nagware. I like driving, I find it to be a very enjoyable activity, and will never understand the Uber Everywhere types, or self-driving cars either.
