Goodby Muttmobile

The Muttmobile (2001 Volvo XC70) was given in trade for the new Muttmobile.  The Volvo was bought at 6 years with about 55,000 miles.  Six years and 100,000 miles later, it was traded for a Mercedes ML 350.  The Muttmobile name is like Air Force One and transfers with the dog.  The Volvo XC70 is, or was, a good dog car.  Low enough to allow the dog to embark and disembark, and, of course, the fabulous pet-friendly dual cages.  The newer Volvo wagons lost two inches from their rooflines, possibly to make the shoebox car appear more rakish, but those two inches were critical in allowing us to slide a crate in.

We had some great miles in that car.
