Volvo drivers are the worst drivers on the road, and perhaps in the world.
I think they have to take a test to make sure they are incompetent enough to drive one of those ugly ducklings.
Question one- How fast should you drive in the fast lane? If you answer "the speed limit or 5 mph below it."
Well then you my friend should buy a volvo.
MarieM i know how the dents got in the gmc. A volvo driver was behind the wheel.

Nope. I don't drive that slowly. I spend enough time on the highway as it is; don't need to prolong it.
And as long as I'm not going tooo fast and I smile nicely at the police officer, I don't get ticketed. ; - )
You might like this story, Thorski. We bought our first Volvo wagon in 1985. It was the first-generation of turbos.
(Mistake to buy the first of anything, but that's another story.) At the time we owned a convenience store and did a ton of early-morning coffee business with mostly blue-collar workers. The first day that Jerry drove it to work, a regular customer walked in and said to him, "Nice car, but I don't see any Swedes in here buying coffee!"

Jeez. This surprises me Marie!!! Adopt me? I had to work my butt off for my first car. Bought it with my own hard earned bucks!

Me, too, XJ.
But...some things I do for my kids just 'cause I can. For some other things I make them work their butts off.

Good story, and i hope your daughter is ok.
She is, thank you. It was just her pride that was hurt.
Wow, only posting because I also own a Volvo C70 but I have never been accused of driving slow. Nothing like stereotypes to demonstrate someones intelligence.
