This season of life for me is bringing some really uncomfortable changes. One being, that we have decided to sell my car. Yes, the Volvo is going. Yes, I have actually shed a few tears over this one…not because I don’t agree with the decision (I actually suggested it several months ago) but because I love that car and I kinda (sorta) don’t like my mini-van in a “it makes me feel fat” kind of way. Oh yes…it is all about me and all about vanity.
This sweet car has been my companion in a sea of giant BOHVs (AKA: Big, Ole, Honkin’ Vehicles or SUVs if that makes you feel better) and mini-vans in the carpool line for lots of years. It is 11 years old and way past the 200k point but I think it still looks pretty spiffy. Unfortunately, it has decided that it isn’t comfortable in supporting my addiction to A/C on a guaranteed, must have or I get really cranky basis. I have wrestled with the decision to either pump the money into fixing it or just selling it as is and driving the mini-van (which is much newer, with way less miles and has a kickin’ AC but gets amazinly bad gas mileage) that sits idly by in the garage. The big advantage to that is that it will greatly reduce the appearance of a used car dealership in my drive way (with the mini-van, dd’s car, dh’s car, and my car we kinda look that way even with 2 continually in the garage…not to mention the annoying auto version of musical cars we have to sometimes play to get chosen vehicle out of said garage…the neighbors must just sigh and give thanks that at least none of them were up on blocks!).
I do know this shall not be my last Volvo (I feel like I should be dirty and sweaty and standing in a turnip field as I say this), nor was it my 1st! I have my heart set on a C70 (yes, that would be the cool, “safe” convertible!) but it will take some time to find a price that is right as we have developed a severe allergy to car payments.
So, for the time being….
Must Loved Volvo For Sale to good home (references required)….lots of miles, very reliable, has carried lots of car seats, sunroof, all power, leather, underseat fries and M&M stains no charge, new brakes and CD/Stereo, A/C needs work but a fantastic car and a rare "amethyst" color…….
Do you think it possible? Could we catch fat? There is a new study out that questions just this…saying there is a cold virus that causes us to get, uh…pleasantly plumb or maybe “pretty plus” (if you know what that is I can tell ya where your Mom shopped for you!). http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070820190918.uugdj3g0&show_article=1
