I don't know. But for some reason I keep thinking that it might be nice to have all my stupid car stuff over in its own little corner of the world. One thing I've noticed is that even with all of the bulletin boards and websites, there aren't any that really suit me and my ever growing list of bookmarks on my browser. It wouldn't be a daily thing like Possumblog is, but it would be a handy place to throw links to suppliers and stuff that are of limited interest here.
Now, I haven't decided for sure whether to do this or not, but if I do, the title might look like this. Or not.
Other titles considered: "Hail, Hail, Moronica!" (Always good to have a Three Stooges reference, you know.)
"The Chronicles of Moronia" (Always good to have a C.S. Lewis reference, you know.)
"Should It Be Making That Noise?"
"Slow, Yet Dull"
"Swedish Girls Think Volvos Are, Like, WAY Cool!"
"It's Not Rust, It's Patina"
"Look, just because Colin Powell collects old Volvos doesn't mean I think his tenure as Secretary of State was one of the high points of American foreign policy. But he does seem like a pretty nice guy, and his wife's a hometown girl. And he collects Volvos." (Always good to have a political reference, you know.)
"Jag Förstår Inte!" ("I do not understand!")
"Possumolvo" (Always good to attempt to draft on the tremendous success of other, more highly evolved and wider-read blogs, you know.)
Anyway, details as they emerge. If they do.
Posted by Terry Oglesby at August 2, 2005 09:02 AMI don't want to get anywhere near a Possumvolvo. I got in enough hot water last week with Half Nekkid Thursday.
Having gotten that out of the way, I think the blog is a great idea. The world is full of morons, hungry for Volvo knowledge, and you're just the guy to dispense the goodies.
Posted by: skillzy at August 2, 2005 09:38 AMTHANKS! I think...
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at August 2, 2005 10:10 AMGreat! Now I would have two places to surf and be unproductive.
BTW would you have any pictures of Pat Gray getting into a Volvo? Sorry I’m just reliving my youth. I’ll be over it soon.
I SEE! So, the rumors are TRUE! Jim Smith and Pat Gray, in a Volvo. Tsk, tsk.
Sorry, no pictures available.

Posted by: Larry Anderson at August 2, 2005 10:22 AMPat Gray is in the TV promotional photo at Birmingham Rewound, below.
I'm interested in Benny Carle. What a coat!
Posted by: Janis at August 2, 2005 10:35 AM"Love-olvo, Possum style"
"Drivin' Cheap and Swedish Stylin' It"
"Lederhosen? - bah!"
[Who can name the movie where a supposed Swede wears lederhosen?]
"Weevil State University Vehicular Science"
Posted by: MarcV at August 2, 2005 11:07 AMI created blogs for salsa reviews and ugly bathrooms, so why not? My focus blogs have audiences of 2 and 1, respectively.
Posted by: sugarmama at August 2, 2005 11:37 AMWell, I tell you, it's getting harder and harder to resist the temptation.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at August 2, 2005 11:50 AMI don't know if I can make one every second or not--I mean, I type fast and all, but sheesh!
Hm? What?
Oh, never mind.
Posted by: Terry Oglesby at August 2, 2005 01:08 PMIt is all your fault, BTW, I'm now noticing old, boxy Volvos with For Sale signs in their windshields everywhere I drive. Last week, I saw one on Highway 20 in southeastern Oregon. I almost stopped to take a picture- just for you!
Posted by: Nate at August 2, 2005 02:00 PMBuwAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Well, now you'll have a place to send it where it will get the attention it deserves.
By the way, that works both ways--I keep looking at scooters now, and wondering if they have 125 or 150CCs...
