Useta be a guy here that commuted every day on Hwy 17 from Santa Cruz
to Silicon Valley. Carried a digital camera and Apple notebook and
took pictures of idiotic drivers on the "blood alley" section of
CA 17. Put them on a website called "Jerque du Jour" for the worst
example of Darwinian driving observed on that day's commute. Volvos
and Minivans seemed to be the perpetual stars, with some drivers
being repeaters. Got in trouble, as he was showing their license
plate, not disguising the jerk, etc. etc. Suspect Volvo USA also
complained at being featured so prominently.... typically a dumbass
in a Volvo with a cell phone pulling right in front of a huge truck
on the downgrade, and slowing down.

If you ever get the chance and feel brave, drive in Florida in
pretty much any or all of the areas infested by geriatrics in
big old Cadillacs or Lincolns. Is enough to drive a teetotaller
to drink.

Re: OT- Carfax Request for 1990 Volvo
No rust or smoke and that is an excellent price.
Volvos go forever with fresh oil regularly. I have owned a couple with
over 350,000 miles on them that still ran great. AC even still worked
in the last one.
We sold our last Volvo 240 wagon when we bought the Cherokee.

Re: OT- Carfax Request for 1990 Volvo
Lon,
The absolute worst thing that happened to me with regard to these "problems"
was a year back. I was in CA and had to travel in the right lane because of
my exit a few miles down the road. I forget the highway but it was 5-6
lane. An old guy entered the highway and I spotted him right off and my
foot was heading for the brake and my hand was on the shifter ready to plow
down through the gears. He did exactly what I figured, pulled right out in
front of me and did 25 MPH. It was all I could do to slow the rig down and
kept looking in the mirror for the trailer. I really don't know how I did
it.
This is why I am getting out of driving. Plus, there are some terrible
drivers (Big Truck) out there too. It's time to slow down and start to
enjoy my TJ more off road and do some camping.
