Wholeheartedly agree on his choice of car. That one right there is a tank, and if properly maintained it'll last a long time.

Maintenance and repaird are easy as fuck, parts are cheap and easy to find, and they're built to last.

Source: Used to own a very similar one. Only reason why I sold it was because I need one more seate to fit everyone in my household.

This is a key part here. Often the cars that meet these are not as sexy and get looked over.

As a serial Volvo owner, have fun replacing the blower motor if it dies.

Blower motors are rarely easy in most cars. It wasn’t great in my 71 BMW either. But I recently had the pleasure of replacing a battery in a 2017 BMW X1 and that simple task took me 6 hours. Maintenance on new cars is ridiculous. I love this guy’s simple approach to happiness through anti consumerism. It’s definitely a goal for me.

Why is it always about cars?
