My wife read Car & Driver’s review of the 1965 Volvo 122s, & remarked THIS WILL BE OUR NEXT CAR! So went to the Volvo dealer in Kansas City Kansas & traded in our 2nd hand 1952 Hillman Minx convertible for a brand new sand color Volvo 122s. Had it for decades, & later bought a white Volvo 242. Have had only Volvos ever since, including my 1970 Volvo 1800E. Still have our 1993 Volvo 240 station wagon. At 85, this will be my last car.

When we were first married, I talked my wife into us buying a Firebird. It has 2 doors and a very difficult to reach and small back seat area. 1 month later she discovered she was pregnant. Doh!

Better gas mileage? Is that because it can only carry two people?

Nice ride! Doesn’t look like your wife’s going to be able to fit, though.

By the looks of it, this car will BOTTOM out after less than a mile….

Just wait until the oldest boy gets his driver’s license and asks dad for the car keys.

Reminds me of the time when I bought a car without my wife’s permission. She still holds a grudge to this day.

So his wife asks “Does my butt make that car look smaller?” Answer: There is no safe answer.

In what parallel dimension does that thing get better gas mileage?

Station wagon?

He could at least get one with a luggage rack, to haul the rest of the family.

Once the oldest gets his drivers license dad might be super popular if he relinquishes the keys ever now and then.
