Happy 50th birthday to the most reliable car ever made; the Volvo 240. Produced for 19 years, outliving its successor, and only ended production due to increasing emissions standards. It will forever be my favorite platform due to its simplicity, practicality, reliability, and classic looks. Volvo made a luxury car that was meant to be driven and passed down generations, and I am grateful that I learned how to drive and repair vehicles with one. This car is truly a testament to engineering.
