Boredom can be a creative excuse to prove a point.

So how did you dress up your Volvo this holiday season?
I’m rather slow on the up take sometimes. Missed this one completely. Send us photos of your Volvo, like Phil Turner’s PV544, and I’ll try to get them up asap. I once had a ’58 Hillman Minx when we lived in Torrance CA. It was painted from the factory in Lime Green. In those days [...]
Last three C30′s
The C30 started life as a car that was not going to have a life. The first version was our Safety Concept Car (SCC) in 2000. It had a few demonstratable safety features, like an adjustable rear seat for children, which was later used in the XC90 and other models, along with Blind Spot Identification [...]
Nice Commerical, Nice Car
Nice holiday advertisement about giving something nice to someone nice. I’m not plugging this company, just that they have good taste in cars. Not that our P1800′s break down, well maybe the Smiths’ fuel gauge went south or the plastic fuel sender float finally sucked up too much gas and this poor sod ran out [...]

I never saw so many people shooting their own name. I had the names of our pensioners to add, but between dream and reality … All, [...]

What is “Good Design”?
What can you do with an 818-square-feet apartment? A good start might be IKEA. However, if you are Sarah Lafferty from Dublin, Ireland you probably have a head full of ideas. Sarah was recently interviewed by Apartment Therapy about her use of living space and thoughts about good design. Apartment Therapy Survey: My Style: Light, [...]
1988 Chicago Auto Show
I was not there but a young Tom Klockau was. Nice photos and cute story. Okay, I do have a soft spot for our Swedish Bricks of that era. And Irv Gordon’s car was on display, at a mere 1 million miles. She looks the same today. Chicago Auto Show 1998 dan
C30 Polestar Limited Edition #1
Think about this, we have never made a production run with just 250 cars ever. Oh wait, we did with P1900, but that was cancelled at number 58 because it was miserable to drive, road like a tank, and about as much fun to drive as an AMC Gremlin. I can see it now, in [...]
