I Just Love Our Parking Lot – One Strange C30
Stumbling into work the other day, this C30 begged to be photographed. Tracking it down, Andrew Gallagher, one of our product guys, asked what I thought of the interior.
Some years back, probably around 1982 when we all had to wear suits, Bob Deutsch put together an “Ugly Tie Day” event for employees. I won more [...]
The 41-Year-Old Twilight Virgin
It will come as no surprise to most that author Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series isn’t written for or marketed toward those with a Y chromosome. As I posses this bit of human DNA, I haven’t made a tremendous effort to read these enormously successful novels. Aside from skimming the jacket covers, my knowledge of these [...]
Teacher of the Year – Volvo of Charleston
Working here, there is an underlying feeling that what we do helps people. We support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (https://www.alexslemonade.org/), and have since almost day one. Many of our dealerships support local organizations helping to spread the Volvo feeling into other parts of people’s lives.
Teachers are special people. I think they chose their career because it is [...]
C30 Electric starts limited production this Fall

Volvo C30 Electric ready for delivery
Volvo Cars and energy company Göteborg Energi yesterday signed a letter of intent regarding cooperation in the area of electrical vehicles and recharge infrastructure. Within the terms of the agreement Volvo provides [...]

After precisely 24:06:45.623 hours, the HEICO SPORTIV Volvo C30 blazed past the finishing line as victor of the “SPT4” class [...]
Racer on Sunday, FTS every other day
On a breezy spring Sunday morning just outside of Fort Worth, Texas, I found myself standing among a group of car geeks. Or maybe fans is a nicer way to say it.
Okay, fans it is.
I’m here because the day before I had been a guest of the Texas Chapter of the Volvo Club of America. [...]
What Drives Edward
On November 20, the second movie in the Twilight Series, Twilight Saga: New Moon, will premiere in theaters worldwide. Our C30 was prominently featured in the first movie and in this next chapter of the Twilight series the XC60 will be the star.
Now the cool part: we’ve created a unique online campaign that emphasizes the [...]
Car reviews
Our group sometimes is asked to answer customer e-mails/letters/phone calls, usually about safety or something more technical than our call center can handle, which isn’t much, but I think they toss these our way to play “stump the chump” with us. A good one came in last week, about why our C70 is not in [...]
VCOA meets VAPG
It’s always nice to meet folks who are as passionate about the Volvo brand as we are. A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend my first Volvo Club of America (VCOA) owners meeting at our super-secret test facility located outside Phoenix, Arizona. Actually, I’ll let the secret out of the bag. Internally [...]
