    If this were NPOCP, I'd take the Volvo, but a Cadillac from the 60's, in pink, wow, that would get you mad respect when you visit hell with it. #24hoursoflemonsohio

    To aid in this decision i will consult the infallible guide of celebrity ride. Volvo wagons were often loved and modified by the late great (and recently jalop-referenced) Paul Newman. Caddies were the adored ride of choice for the king himself, Elvis Presley.

    I have no desire to sing rock and roll, be know chronoligocally as the "fat" version of me or the "skinny" one, and am not fond of rhinestones.

    However, i would LOVE to become a race car driver simply out of will and enjoyment, own my own team and endorse and monopolize the tasty salad dressing market as we know it.

    So I'm gonna have to vote Volvo. #24hoursoflemonsohio

    Let me make your choice even more difficult. That Volvo was at the New England race. The guys on the team needed to install an already assembled roll cage, so they accomplished the task of installing said roll cage by slicing off the top of the wagon, and then after the cage was in, re-attached the sheet metal of the roof.

    It was the craziest Volvo I have ever seen, and it was fast as well. #24hoursoflemonsohio

    Well, I have to say, it's certainly a tough choice.

    For any guy, anyhow, it won't be a problem with the girlfriend or wife I'm sure -- every girl loves pink wheels and leopard print anything, right? So I guess you can't go wrong with either. ;) #24hoursoflemonsohio

    Skeg-fin Caddy FTW.

    I know of a green Coupe deVille of the same vintage for parts, even though it appears to move.

    Almost traded my '95 W124 sedan for it, even. Then commuting logic stepped in. #24hoursoflemonsohio

    The Volvo for a family? Look, unless you have more than three kids, the Fleetwood is going to have plenty of rattling-around room, not to mention a cavernous trunk suitable for leftover brats, unwanted guests, golf clubs, weapons for a small army, or a few dead hookers. It's a Fleetwood, it's got fins (both up top and below!), and it's pink. What more does anyone need?

    Caddy all the way. I don't have little kids to shame with the deceptively twee Volvo--which, let's face it, to non-Lemonites, would just be the cutest thing evah!
    So I've seen lots of cute Volvos. I don't think I've ever seen a pink racing Caddy vintage 61. #24hoursoflemonsohio

    This is a no-contest- Caddy all the way. I'm sure a ton of the parts are interchangable between the 6200, deVille, etc as well as other GM cars. #24hoursoflemonsohio

    "'Tis but a scratch!"

    Kinda reminds me of the time I backed out and smacked a light pole with my LTD, knocking the headlights out and busting up the housing and reflector on the left side... I didn't have any money, all I had was epoxy and zipties. But I cobbled it all back together. Even epoxied the reflector from the shattered pieces. And it actually looked pretty okay. Haha.

    I really hope this ends up as someone's daily driver until the next race. It'd be worth the thirteen miles per gallon and constant helmet use.

    Don Draper would approve (although the pink paintjob would be better for Betty).
