To get away from the election craziness, I went to a Volvo dealer to pick up a part but when I pulled onto the lot I was confronted by another old dog Volvo 240 staring me and mine in the face – or grill.
We circled each other like two buck deer before the rut and decided we posed no threats to one another.
Having two show-quality Volvo 240’s on a Volvo dealer’s lot at once is like hitting the lottery jackpot on a single rub-off ticket.
The folks at the dealership had us line up side by side for a picture shoot which was quite fun.
I am always amazed at how many older employees at Volvo dealerships have such affection and good memories about these handsome old dogs that were built like anvils and were about as comfortable as the same.
These two cars have collectively almost 600,000 miles on them.
