    This is the only Volvo worth owning. Tough as (or tougher) than a Western Star.

    You guys haven't seen the new 860s? They're freaking amazing! The steering wheel is one of my favorite parts. I also love the Dinette option. The included fridge is not that bad either. That's one of my dream trucks.

    guy had one of these on craigslist last summer,down in TN area. i still have the pics on my phone he sent. was thinking of buying it,it was a '91 with a big cam. i thought '91 woulda been a N14. the hood looks very W9-ish to me. kinda cool looking,but not often seen truck.

    Meh, I knew a guy that had one of those, ok, I guess, nothing to write home about. Rode like crap, like all Whites ( before air ride) He made money with it. My '82 Western Star was a much nicer truck, but agreed, better than ANY truck today!
