As a motorcyclist, I can't believe I'm defending Volvos, but...
- The new coupes and the last few models (e.g. a friend of mine has a very
nice T5R) look really cool.
- The only accident I have ever been in happened while I was driving a
Volvo. A Honda came through a red traffic light and hit me. The Honda was
towed away. The Volvo was drivable, after changing a flat tyre.
Taxi drivers are my pet hate.
