Folks often inquire why I like Volvos. Here's a few reasons.
1. Only one automobile manufacturer has a name that sounds like a woman's body part.
2. only major manufacturer that has not built their business primarily on defence industry contacts
3. I went to school and lived near Goteborg.
4. Gothenburg is spelled and sounds like Bruce Wayne's hometown.
4. Swedish bikini team.
5. Marcia had a baby blue Volvo wagon.
6. When I was 16, my dad bought me a brand new Volvo racing coupe which he pretended was for himself.
7. Volvo pioneered & defines vehicle safety.
8. More consumers trust Volvo to safely implement AI than any other brand.
9. The Swedish monarchy
A. has been a safe haven for Jews when the Norwegian monarch and the Germans expelled and persecuted Jews &
B. is a minimalist monarchy, i.e. cost, pomp & circumstance, etc.
10. Swedes, and other peoples manufacturing vehicles near the autobahn, design vehicles to be driven by people who
A. have completed a vigorous licensing process. Japan is another nation which doesn't dispense driver licenses on the basis of needing to provide taxpayers with a form of identification &
B. design vehicles to be driven, unlike Americans, who tend to be about as present as...[still trying to think of a clever, insulting metaphor].
11. Swedes, more than Germans, enjoy working on their own vehicles. Less so than Germany (not a terribly high standard), Volvos tend to be less over engineered.
12. The largest truck company in the world is a Kraut company. No one, other than Krauts, understands Kraut humour...so I like the second largest truck company better.
13. Volvo Trucks has poor judgment in business partners.
14. Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson were Christian.
