She's still chugging along


The Silver Bullet is still on the road. As a matter of fact the guys at the service station are very surprised mainly because of the rust damage. She now has over 306,000 miles on it.

For all the good news the clock is still ticking. It's up for inspection in the next month, which is a real gamble at this point because of the rust.

I no longer drive the car full time. Over the summer I worked for GM out in Warren, MI. Since MI isn't exactly right around the corner (10 hours away) my parents in their infinite wisdom decided I should get a "new" car.

My new car is a 1994 Volvo 850 wagon or for the true Volvo nuts an 855. She had about 180-183K on it when i got it. Now that the summer is over it has just over 188,000 miles. The car has cleaned up nicely, but it is no 240.
