I think there's a sabb with an even wider one, but cannot find it. I
saw it in a garage many decades ago.

 
Oh, the 900. I've seen a few of those. Saabs always were a minority
brand in the US. I liked the old ones, but there were some really
strange beasts like the Sonnet II. I don't know why there was a Volvo
on every block while Saabs were driven by middle-aged lesbians.

 
Volvo used to be synonymous with safety and they were built to last
forever. It was their reputation and it was very much the reality. Once
Ford bought the company though, everything went downhill. Now the
Chinese own them and I can't help but notice that they're at the bottom
in the reliability index.

A friend's father gave him a new Volvo when he graduated college. He had
some sort of feeling that he would live as long as the Volvo or something
and hung on to it for years. After a minor accident he was irate when the
insurance company paid out based on the value of the car, which was about
$100, despite his paying for a policy that was designed for people with
rare vintage cars.

Another friend who lived in Boston had two Healey 3000s stolen which were
never recovered. Sick of the aggravation he bought a Volvo. That too was
stolen but the cops found it abandoned with little damage.
