Do I look sexuality challenged to you?

My dad had one of those, the gearbox was horrid!

A blast from my childhood:

  Why are Volvos so ugly?

Yea, but they're safe!

Volvos that age are not safe by modern standards though. My uncle bought a Volvo almost like that with only 50 000km on it. Vehicle was almost like new but the age shows. Door frames are paper thin, no air bags, the door resonates like banging on sheet metal when you close the door.

I guess I was being a bit facetious but will say my wife's 2007 XC-70 has been a great family car.  Spacious, comfortable seats, plenty of amenities -  we have driven all over Europe in this car and I can't say anything bad about it.  Snow, ice, warm weather, It does its purpose.

It's a fact that Volvos seem much better cars while you're in them.

Haha -  I take it you are not a Volvo fan.

Her Volvo has 85K miles and still chugging along.  Only had to do periodic maintenance; nothing has broke and that is saying a lot for HER primary driver.  Those backup sensors have saved many a pole in a parking lot.

Reggie Hammond will be by with a police officer to pick it up.  

If anyone named Luther shows up, ignore him.

Love that movie   "Did that hurt Luther; it looked like it hurt a lot when I slammed the door in your face"

No I mean that many times when I sit in a Volvo - a taxi for example - the car seems very comfortable. On the outside it doesn't 'do' anything for me but the seats, noise level etc. are excellent in many models. I especially love the premium soft leather seats of Volvo.

Or it might be that I'm usually mindlessly drunk when I'm in a taxi.

"Put me down for a bob." he said. Shocked me so I forgot about the car.
