!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! popped up on my local CL. 150k is low miles for this car, plenty of road ahead of it. And at $1100, my kind of car.

However, the possibility of getting a second car isn't even on the table until summer rolls around and I start generating some cold hard. And even then, it's maybe on the table. I already know I face parental objection on this issue...

Enough bad news. In addition to low miles, low price, and an optimistic mechanical situation, this car checks all the boxes in terms of aesthetics—quad-rectangle headlamps, steelies, and white paint. Handsome beast.

I was talking with Ubel about old automatic transmissions, whether I'd want to avoid them or not. The one time I went online reading about the auto fitted to these 700s (and 200s as well) I didn't see any doom and gloom.

Anyway, that's what's been going on with me—the Great Swede is eternally on my mind. I'm going to Laguna Seca tomorrow, the first time with my camera, so expect some shot from me in the coming week.

Drive one, my buddy had a 740 turbo wagon with a 5 speed, they drive fantastic. So what if they look like bricks.

Mine had a turbo and 16" wheels, but yes... The rest applies.
