And uses too much gas
Some folks say it's too old
And that it goes too fast
But my love is bigger than a Honda
It's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing
And one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it
Honey we can park it out in back..." --Bruce Springsteen
Barring bad news from the mechanic, we'll soon be the owner of a bronze 1993 Volvo 960 wagon, with 90,000 miles on it. It's not a glamorous car, but it's big, it works well, it's comfortable, and it can fit dog and Mac and multiple Mac-friends (or our friends) w/o blinking, and we don't have to worry about getting it dirty.
Also, our stuff arrived today. Much to unpack. Much, much to unpack.

Don't say you weren't warned.

(Not that I'm biased or anything -- my family had an '89 Volvo station wagon until 2003, and it was a workhorse of a car. Not glamorous, but fantastic for kids and pets and ferrying people around. And actually very comfortable for long drives -- we went from Chicago to Connecticut in it several times.)
