[s-cars] RE: volvos

Onetwothreefour Bill declared a flamewar: 

<<<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......   :-)

Heh heh, good stuff Bill, I've seen 'them' out there!  Careful tho or you're
gonna awake what I fear to be 'masses' here (Lee Platt Me Frank Pasq. etc.)
that have verywell been born 'n bred on the suckas 8-).  I think we had
around say 11 or so through my family whoops...

I'd never buy one, but I'd never bash one (no FWD for me thanks, even with
their 'awd').  Haven't driven the S60R (yet) but have sososomany others,
they're GREAT cars for those maybe not as 'intense / dialed in' as say most
us here are or who like FWD (nevah!).  Tho having trees transplanting LF
wheel to RF headlight area and driver door handle to center of a 242 might
have instilled a bit of religion (or more likely knocked a few screws
loose?)...

And he whoeth say those seats nar comfy smokest CRACK.  As with MB, Volvo
seats of unparalleled comfort and I defy anyone to dare object (unless
you're like a circus midget or freakshow 7 footer or something maybe?),
always have been always will be.  Comparing them to our Recaros is insane
(love them but not comfy in the true sense of the word)...

Sorry, but, who could let a good flame war pass... 'tis the season to write
stupidity, or something...
