Just a silly little Volvo.

About Me

Well, my life started out as a little metal box in Ghent, Belgium. I was assembled with care and shipped to my new paradise in what "they" call "The City Beautiful", Orlando, Florida. I was originally purchased at the Volvo Store in Winter Park in 1995, whom I lived with until, in 2002, they decided they wanted a Lexus instead. (a Lexus...not bad, but no Volvo!) I was rather pissed. But, luckily, when life gives you lemons, then damn it, make lemonade ! So one shining day in January in walks this stunner of a young man (or so he's been told by many passengers) to the showroom of Winter Park Motors to take a chance on the shiny teal wagon on display...things were starting to look up ! I have been all over Florida with him...Gainesville, Tampa, Orlando and all over Brevard County. I've been meticulously washed and looked after in the past 4 years, and I am finally taking my time to relax and enjoy life. I have a sister, Paige who just recently joined the Finley family. She is slightly older, but a little more sedate. My cousin is this little tartlet of a Scion, Tracy, that keeps me company during the nights outside.ToolsForMySpace.com
