Nothing against Euro cars. We have several (if you include British).You are the exception that proves the rule. Most Volvos seem to be driven by pointy-headed types. I think this started when Donald Sutherland was doing voice-overs for Volvo commercials. The ads were quite smarmy and condescending. Where I live most Volvo owners seem to be professors or lawyers.
Currently I have a Euro-car of the 3-pointed-star variety, but you're correct that Volvos tend to be owned by socialists, the pointy-headed, or a combination of the two.
It was a great car, though.
If only a moron (with no lights on) hadn't pulled out in front of me on 12/5/03, I'd still have it.
