#LOLVO: You had me at 'masculine chrome brooch'.

This is what happens when a Swedish art director puts up an ad for his 1993 Volvo 245GL and after doing so, sells it and gets the attention of Volvo, who shortly thereafter commissions the same art director to put up an ad for the brand new Volvo V60.

said a bittersweet farewell to this guy tonight.

bitter:

I won't be able to listen to the turbo spool echo through the woods, won't be able to scare old women and children with the straight-through side-exit exhaust, and I won't have a ludicrous speed switch. and no blockily-awesome, funky blue velour interior.

sweet:

I will still get to see it around, and I'll have more time/money for my Amazon and my miata (and when the time comes, my other 244 turbo restoration project). and it's in one of my best friend's hands, who I know will take good care of it, and learn the ways of RWD with it. I also won't have to deal with wiring harness hissyfits on the side of the road.
