Re: Center Wheel covers 200 1983

"...must have been kind of funny for the guy behind me seeing "one of them old Volvos falling apart on the freeway"! Haha!"

Actually, he stopped to pick up your hubcap. He's selling it on eBay for $50.

"...most sane people wouldn't want to be 'caught dead in one'!"

Here's where you have the last laugh. The 240 is so rugged and safe, those people's chances of being caught dead in a 240 are essentially zero. It's rumored that during a five year time span in the 1990's, not one single person died in a Volvo 240 accident in the US. (I don't have the source of that data.)

240s are so downright plain 'n unattractive that nobody steals 'em, either (notice I did NOT say "ugly," 'cause beauty's in the eye of the beerholder...). And that's 'cause they wouldn't be caught dead in one!

"One of my center wheel covers is gone!"

Remove the other one so your car has matched wheels — at least on that side.
