[s-cars] Re: Volvo S60R as UrS4 replacement?

[William Noland]

OK, OK. I'll stand corrected on the issue of the S60R and bow to those 
who have actually driven one. Those of you who ride motorcycles may well 
share my opinion that Volvo drivers are the lowest form of life on the 
highways. I always thought it was just me, until I read confirming 
stories in American and Brit 2-wheel mags. OK, OK, Volvo drivers, who 
have bought into this mystique of the (passive) safety virtues and 
unnatural longevity of the brand, are not really into active safety, 
preventative maintenance and driving in general. This makes them 
dangerous  and a general menace to all right-thinking users of the US 
highways and byways.

I was just trying to be nice -- it's the holiday season afterall. What 
ever happened to Frank (the Don) Amoroso and his unnatural attraction to 
Volvo wagons? Let the flame war begin......   :-)
