OT: Didn't drop to one car yet...

My daughter totaled the van on her 20th birthday. She is fine, thank God. The van, paid up with only 42k is not. We were cashiered at $10k.
For the rest of the week I am truly a bike commuter (4 days a week minimum anyway). This morning was 10F. Tomorrow will be closer to freezing with rain, snow, sleet, and freezing rain. I have the electric assist Charger MTB with Nokian studded tires ready!

Here is the turbo Volvo we test drove - approx $7k after repair, 53k miles.

Scroll down a page or two to see a ton of pictures. She drove very nicely. Many many years ago we lusted for a volvo 850, the S70 is it's successor.

A friend of mine has one and loves it. He said he may look for another one when he gets 400k on this one. Glad to hear everyone is OK, good luck.

I'm down in Charlottesville. You sure picked a nice, frosty week to commute by bike. Glad your daughter is ok!
