Thought everyone would appreciate it...

I remember these things. They were expensive and were really goofy-looking. However, for the patient, they will appreciate. Just wait for 30 or 40 years for an automotive auction. I did not know that the V6 was so troublesome.

Here is another NY times article about old Volvos:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/04/automobiles/collectibles/04VOLVO.html?_r=1&ref=automobiles&oref=slogin

now that the internet is irrevocably eroding all newspapers business models for profitability, growth, and audience manipulation i daresay the nyt will not now be as smug about its own diminished future as they are about the bertones'.

yet, for a newspaper that started with enough self righteous pomp and grandiosity to actually place in the upper corner of each and every paper they print the words:

"all the news thats fit to print"

having fallen, in fact if not in spirit, abbreviating their noble sentiment to simply:

"all the news that fits"

the new york times, america's paper of record or so they like to tell everyone has become a bad version of pravda without the hilarious irony.

hard to believe sulzberger and company actually believe the dreck they print and expect us to take seriously!

but then, having been so long at the top warps ones perspective especially now they are well past their sell by date !

Unusually accurate assessment for a newspaper.....

Okay, I'll kinda agree with you, but it is an incredibly accurate report for a Democratic paper reporting from the left ditch!

Please don't flame me for that one, I felt it needed to be said... I think we all know what the NYT is after all! What I'm trying to figure out is why they felt spinning a benign story was necessary.

Don't flame me for this, I felt it needed to be said: quit being such a flaming moron.

Alex:

Seems like you are a significant contributor to the board, it is appreciated. Sorry if I offended you with my comments, it just seems the media has been off-fact for way too many years... even Fox and CNN. All I'm asking for is honest unspun news.

As far as the "flaming moron" comment,lighten up Francis! I'm not on fire, I'm not gay (or lesbian for that matter), and well, the moron part, not sure whose IQ test you got your hands on but it obviously wasn't mine. Unless of course if you base the "moron" status on anyone who disagrees with your views, then we know where the issue really lies.

I agree with the previous poster, I made the mistake of posting an opinion in the 240 forum. I shall endeavor to keep on task and 240 target... obviously "humor" isn't appreciated around here.

I saw the article. Doesn't pass the Thumper Rabbit test:
"If you can't say something just awful nice, don't say anything at all!"

Did you note the other article showed a pic of a P1900 calling it a 122S wagon?
