I loved my Porsche, but it didn't make a very good work vehicle.

I've never had a Volvo, but I can pronounce the "e" as "uh" for my Dodge-uh, which is up to 426 thousand miles with the original motor. The Delta that I got from Woodworker's Supply when they were first introduced was the same way.... it put up with my TLC and all the abuse that several hired hands could heap on it. Cut through anything I wanted it to, with a decent 1/2 inch blade. Plenty versatile, and easy to get parts, etc. That was almost twenty years ago, and my dad still uses it in his garage. Guy
