….of this fully operational internet!!!

The VEV is back, after a fender-bender in January which smashed the headlights, side lights and the front grille, but left everything else untouched. But thanks to a very effective auto-parts search engine, and an enthusiast in West Virginia with a deep and abiding affection for the early Volvo sedans, the neccessary parts were located in three days at a moderate price. (All thanks to Dan, Dan the Volvo Man! Mwah!!!) (It just took a month and a half for the insurance to pay, me to pay, the parts to be shipped, and the garage to install. Nothing is perfect.)
“So, the 1975 Volvo is on the road again?” asked my insurance agent.
“Yes– so tell everyone to get the hell out of my way!” I said.
It’s nice to have it back again… but I keep hanging back from vehicles in front of me, and eying the back ends of large trucks with absolute loathing.
