Hey-

It's great that you've had good luck. I bought mine based on the experiences of close friends who were very loyal to their 2 series and 7 series. I spent many hours behind the wheel of 2 and 7 series over the years and logged many miles in them. We used to take a friends 244 on road trips in college with over 250K miles on it because it was the most reliable car we had to choose from.

Personally, I've had great luck with Fords. But let's both be fair.... there are a lot of people that have had bad Volvo's and lot of people that have had bad Ford's. It's simply a matter of personal experience. Every manufacturer builds their share of lemons.

But please know, I have provided and continue to provide plenty of "really good advice" to this board as well. I have not limited my posts to only negativity.
