This is my Volvo DL. It went into the shop this last weekend and had $300 US of work done on it, and now it runs like a wild beast.

My sister Laurel rescued it for me from the newspaper room. --Query String of the Day: #1 on Google for "I want to hear Uighur music." (I found this in my logs today).
