Don't know if anyone else has seen this, but in my local paper this morning in Ray and Tom's column, someone wrote in and said that he and his wife were offered 2 different cars from 2 of their grandmothers. One was a 95 Volvo 850 with 50-something thousand on the clock, the other was a 92 Camry also with 5-something thousand on it (low mileage - the proverbial trip to church once a week in the car?). Anyway, the writer wanted to know which car to accept. Both Ray and Tom said that although both were good cars, they should go with the Camry, suggesting that the 850 would need alot of mechanical "attention" over the next few years while as the Camry wouldn't need much of anything. The remainder of their response involved advising the guy how to tell the one grandmother that they didn't want her 850 without hurting her feelings! Pretty amusing.

I tell ya, we 850 owners, we're like Rodney Dangerfield, we get no respect!
