Oh yeah ~ the Z is best. I'll bet you got a lot of attention with it.

BUT, I sure would love to have either of those Volvos, either of the SAABS (Rang-dang-dang) and that '53 Buick Skylark convertible!

Deal. I promise you we can buy old Zs here cheaper than you can get old Volvos or SAABs there! :lol: Some people even GIVE them away!

:oops:

Here some people pay YOU to take their old rusty tractors - oops I mean volvos away from their gardens (old volvos are especially good as green houses for growing carrots, potatoes and such delicacies )

I do understand people have a tendency to like what they consider "exotic", and so I understand some americans admire Volvos. Just like I admire 1970s Challengers. Not that Challengers and Volvos are comparable in any way but.. now I'm being too harsh in my sarcasm.. I'm glad you like something that comes so close from my home (and yet so far) :)
but truth be told, my z turns more heads here than any 1974 porsche, not to mention an old volvo.

I double that "Z for a Volvo" campaign :P Actually i have one "tractor" 940 Volvo as my daily driver and i could not find a car more reliable than that. They use to make fine cars back in the day, i can't say the same about newer Volvos, wich have Renault engine and Ford chassis.

Actually im looking for a new car to replace my current Volvo, we drove a lot and with fuel prices like this, diesel is the only option. With new Volvo V50 Diesel you can drive almost 60miles per gallon (highway). Thats a LOT.

I like them both, but the gas station picture is a real winner. It makes you feel like there are places to go, and that the Z is impatient to get back out onto the road and play. :wink:

Excellent work. The earlier shot with the boat in the background, and this gas station shot are my two favorites.
