Twilight Winners Collect Their Prizes – New S60 R-Designs
Jessica T., of State College, Pa., now owns a little piece of Edward Cullen after winning Volvo’s “Journey to the Wedding” Contest. Thorpe picked up her shiny new Volvo S60 R-Design – the exact car Edward drove in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” last week at Volvo State College.
Here’s what Jessica had to say about her new car:
“I love my new car! It is so fun and it drives so nicely! My old car was 14-years-old and had 193,000 miles on it, so winning such a sleek, stylish and powerful car was a wonderful Christmas present. I’m so grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime prize of a new, luxury Volvo S60 R-Design. It means so much to me.”
And here’s a news clip from Jessica’s hometown newspaper:
After winning Yahoo’s “Say ‘I Do’ Sweepstakes,” Cherie M. of Hendersonville, Tenn., picked up her new Volvo S60 R-Design at Volvo of Nashville.
