Am I a meme?

I have owned the mythical RWD, stick shift, Diesel, station wagon. Do I get bonus Internet points for this?

Bad news, that makes you car hipster royalty

Yes, you have ridden the unicorn...

My family owned two, both were a 80's-era Peugeot 504 diesel wagons. I don't have photos of ours, but I love the wtf caption on this google image of a similar car:

If it was French, then the answer is no as the French do not count due to their desire to produce nearly every weird car in the world, so yours would almost be normal for them.

If it were German or American and also located in the US then you're good to go as those are actually rare and weird here.

Mine was Swedish. What does that count for?

even better

It only counts if it was brown

There. NOW am I a meme?

Do you want to be a meme?

Nice. Love the prancing moose sticker.

I think the new flat license plates look wierd. I want my government issued registration display area to be stamped metal with raised lettering.

Odd choice of wheels with the Rigels, but they work.

Odd? I think not. At least theoretically, flat-face wheels have better aerodynamics. A car shaped like a brick can use all the help it can get! If the stars aligned, I could get 42 mpg on the highway. Of course, that meant driving 100 km/h, but that was what the car was designed for.

Would you accept quaint? Perhaps esoteric.

They don't get much love from the Volvo community, but I like them on 240s.

Esoteric. Practical. Cheap, because nobody wants them. :)

In reply to EvanR:

Another wheel no one wants but, if I remember correctly is the lightest, is the Orion found on the 940. In case you ever tire of the Rigels.

That prancing moose sticker makes me want a buy a Volvo. Now I have visions of real Moose Wheelies, thank you for that.

Also, that car has it all: Brown, Manual, Diesel, RWD, and a WAGON. You do win the Internet.

I suddenly have the urge to shove a Duramax w/6 speed manual into an 80's Caprice wagon.....

I wouldn't say you are a meme, more like an internet legend.

My wife's mother is called Meme'. French for Grandmother. You don't sound that old....
