I'm sorry guys, but the finest vehicle ever built is a 1962 Volvo Amazon station wagon with bakelite steering wheel. I ought to know, i've got one.

Those Volvos never rust and go FOREVER.
Then you do have the toughest inspection in the world there. And the trunks are good sized too.
David W. I have driven many US freeways and all the way down to NH. Class 6, scenic, washboard, dirt roads, but ah NEVA had roadrage like they give me here... not even close.
If people pass into oncoming trafic... they expect the oncoming trafic to get out of the way... NUTS, just nuts.
I think your red monster would be perfect here LOL.

I'm driving a Ford Ranger pickup these days. The nice thing is there is room for only one passenger.
I had an old Volvo 240 station wagon for years. It was better in everyway than then Ford.

So we have Volvo's, and Opals, and minivans, and SUV's, and pick ups, etc.... Doesn't anyone get to gigs in a Corvette? Or a Jaguar E Type? I thought steel players were "cool dudes"!?
Budd - uncool pick up and minivan. (But I have dreams)

This thread is making me picture Buddy's "One for the Road" album cover. He sure had the roady thing worked out!

David, Man that's a great lookin crusher ya got there, if you put ya a brush guard and safari bar on the front end, it'd be legal to drive on the I-240 loop around Memphis
The heavy duty stuff helps when your horn won't blow, or ya could use an S&W.

'64 Mercury Colony Park, 390 Super Marauder (not the normal marauder). 10 miles per gallon uphill, downhill, city or highway. And I can put a sheet of plywood in the back.
What I really want is an Excursion, actually what I really want is a Bradley.

My Ford Windstar Van meets my needs and is easy to load and unload, just ask my wife/roadie.

93 Nissan 240se hatchback. It's killing my back. But if things work out, I see some kind of minivan in the near future. Not only for my steel guitar and equipment but my new granddaughter.
Keep pickin', Larry
