Sniff, sniff my childhood car going away

[Bondavi]

After 25 years, my parents are selling the grey/black Volvo 245 Turbo stickshift wagon that we've had since new.... story attached:

If I had my way I'd stuff a Buick turbo 3.8 V-6/auto in, lower the car or keep it all Volvo and hot rod up the orig 2.1L turbo four.

Can't help but feel like a piece of me is drifting away....

On to the Challenger!

YOU GET SENTIMENTAL OVER A ..................................................................VOLVO??

YOU GET SENTIMENTAL OVER A ..................................................................VOLVO??

  Definitley an Aussie would say that, in Aussie Volvos, or more importantly volvo drivers have a very bad reputation,      even volvo tried to neutralise their reputation before releasing the latest cars, still the same drivers though, watch out.   
  I know you can become attached to a car your parents had when you were young, I have a soft spot for a Vanguard.  Built like a tank, and had the handling and performance of one.

When my mom got rid of her '72 /6 Valiant Scamp, now that was a sad day.  You should be jumping for joy.

Its only natural to feel that way when something that was a constant in you life for a long time goes away.
