I have to say, receiving this screenshot in my email inbox tonight really made me laugh:

• Oops! Didn't realise removing that line break would ping you, haha. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 07:23, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Lol, not a problem! It was just pretty humorous to see you "expressing" the same sentiment, especially as an Australian. But hey, I can't blame you!

Also, seeing as you're a McLaren guy, just butting in here to say that the F1 LM is really a thing of beauty. The orange sorry, Papaya Orange color on the car makes it that much more special to me. It, the Mercedes CLK GTR and the Mustang Cobra R are my 3 favorite cars from the early 2000s. — That Coptic Guy^{ping me!} (talk) (contribs) 14:45, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Excellent picks! My first car was an '01 V70 XC, similar to this one, and since then I've come to adore the P80 and P2 Volvos. A bit ordinary, but I think ordinary cars deserve a bit more love – Volvo also made some fantastic race cars such as the STCC S40. 5225_C (talk • contributions) 07:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Volvo, nice. Really such an underrated car (and truck!) manufacturer--also, can't go wrong with a station wagon, I am sure your XC70 held up well over the years. My childhood church priest actually drove a little 1998 Volvo S70 much like this one lol (same color, too):

Any time I saw a Volvo on the streets, I'd associate it with him. I also DID NOT know they had a racing division, that STCC S40 looks so cool (and the paint on it is... very Volvo)

Also, speaking of station wagons, for whatever reason I've always wanted to buy a nice, low-mileage station-wagon version of my 1996 Toyota Camry. Old Toyotas are ridiculously reliable, and the extra space in the back can certainly come in handy:

• 
  Sedan, though mine doesn't have a cool two-color scheme like this one
• 
  A long boi

So I agree, all cars are awesome--from an F1 to a Volvo XC70. — That Coptic Guy^{ping me!} (talk) (contribs) 23:47, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
