Dolph's Ride: 1963 Volvo Laplander L3313

I was watching this sweet Volvo Excavators advertisement on the youtubes when I pointed out to a friend that Dolph is driving a sweet old Ford pickup and my pal brazenly stated it was because there was nothing old school cool from Volvo that Dolph could drive...which was a complete load of steaming moose pucky because I could pick 50 different old school Swedish rides for the Lundgrenader.  Here is a 1963 Volvo Laplander L3313 offered for $6000 in Albuquerque, NM via craigslist.

5k: Happy Thorsgiving: 1963 Volvo L3314 Laplander Military 4x4

We at the Daily Turismo are sick of letting the Pilgrims get all the glory for the Thanksgiving long weekend celebration.  While all the "conventional historians" talk about Columbus discovering America and Pilgrims eating some silly lunch with Native Americans, we are surprised how few people know the real story of the first Thorsgiving.  It was a balmy Thursday circa 1000 ad when Leifr (son of Thjóðhildr and Erik the Red) landed in modern day Newfoundland and met up with a group of strangely dressed Pan-Asiatic nomads.  These "natives" and the viking ate a feast of lingonberry jam on pheasant and afterwards shared an ancient sketchbook to Leifr.  The book has been long lost in history, but to this day Leifr's descendants swear it contained crude drawings of V4 powered dog-sleds, 2-stroke engines with centrifugal couplings, boxy ox-carts, plans for underpowered 4X4 military vehicles and well....lots of nekkid people. Unconventional historians say that this chance meeting (aka the first Thorsgiving) led to a lineage that bred cars such as this 1963 Volvo L3314 Laplander Military 4x4 for sale in Auburn, CA for $7,500 via craigslist.  Thanks to the multiple tippers who sent this in, but Andrew MC was first!
