His answer was most people would be astounded to find out
just how many miles they've racked up over the years on many
different cars. He had a few US clunkers before he fluked into
this Volvo. He said it cost him a year's teacher's wages,
($12K) at the time but he knew he had to have it.
He's never grown tired of the car. He enjoys driving it.
He's been hit a few times while parked and decribed an incident
where a tow truck backed into him and latched unto his bumper
while he was in the car. Only when the two vehicles hit a bump
did they disengage.
But the most telling detail of all was the system he uses for
getting at the salt and corrosion on the undersides of the P1800.
If only!
It was a great revelation of an interview. If only a knowlegeable
car person had conducted it but she was OK. Maybe, if you're interested,
you can listen to it on the "As it Happens" website. They run a bit of
an archive there, just like PBS.
