My dad's 2005 Ford Taurus wagon
My 1969 Volvo 144S, currently glued to the driveway until money is a thing again
My 1997 Chevy Blazer 4x4, daily and Canada-crossing road trip/camping beast

Not a bad S10 Blazer you got there. That Volvo is awesome.

Thanks! $600, not a speck of rust, and just did 10,000 ams without skipping a beat.
The Volvo has been almost sold several times, but it looks like it's here to stay now. She used to be my daily, but mounting reliability issues had her relegated to driveway guard duty, so I'll have a big post in the future about my second revival of the poor thing

Hmmm. I'm seeing way too much practical here. Need to step out a little bit. Maybe turbo the Volvo or V8 swap the Blazer.

Well the Volvo is either getting a proper restoration, or a totally open-ended build, undecided on which. The Blazer is my first reliable and practical vehicle, so it has to stay as is, but my past fleet includes both an E28 and an E30, and impracticality is in the near future

It deserves it, not many exist

That's my main reason for keeping it, I'm worried what would happen if it wound up in sketchy hands. Plus restoration would only entail brake line replacement, some relatively mild rust repair, tuning, and different carburation, much more manageable than the only other two I've seen in the province
