This is definitely an upgrade from my yellow 2003 Ford Mustang – which I loved, but it really just never felt like me.   As I got older, it felt less and less like me.  A 22 year old driving a yellow Mustang is one thing.  At almost 28, though, it just felt a little odd.  I also definitely didn’t want to go through another New England winter with it!   It was time for something new.

Behold!

Volvo
