Volvo 122s
I have never really thought of myself as a car guy, but the fact that I have owned 16 cars in the last 14 years seems to prove otherwise. My wife calls it Automotive ADD, I just call it a good time.
It may have all started when I was a kid and I was obsessed with Richard Scarry’s Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, or that little matchbox car I had that I couldn’t quite decide which was the hood and which was the trunk. One thing is for certain though, that love of cars was cemented with the purchase of my first car. A Volvo 122S. I bought it from my uncle for $200 before I even had a drivers license and spent countless hours stalling it while I learned how to use a manual transmission. It would last me two long years before it finally threw a rod and found it’s way to Volvo paradise. I’m not sure a car will ever be as loved by me as it was.
