Sweepstakes – Win a Dream Trip to Sweden at CarPlusVacation.com
I’ve traveled a little, did a nice tour of SE Asia one time for two years, but that’s another story, been to France, Italy, Portugal (my daughter/husband lived there for a while), UK, and Florida but none compare to Sweden in Summer. There is Absolute(ly) – pun intended - nothing finer than seeing mid-Summer at [...]
“Naughty Tour” S60 Winners Announced
The S60 toured the country last year, and when people flocked to check it out, they also had the opportunity to win their own S60 T6 – and a trip to Gothenburg.

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 [...]
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.

Family Road Trips: Fun, Exhausting, or ?
We used to drive across the Mojave Desert – from California to Utah – reading Burma Shave signs. Dad had an “Air Conditioner” which was just a window mounted swamp cooler. Those were long, hot, boring trips. Today, we have awesome A/C cooled cabins, TV’s built into headrests (for Elmo), heated/cooled seats, tinted windows, and [...]

A contest
Ok you guys and gals have seven (7 for those of us who are fixated with seeing a number number) days to come up with a caption. Awards have not been decided but you can bet it will not be a new Volvo. Fun weekend to you all, dan
Contest Winners
Of all entries received, Mike G. from Washington state and Randy E. from Connecticut came closest to guessing what that little bracket does. Mike gets the shirt off my back -– thanks Mike. Randy scores with his very own, brand new XC60 (model). My brother Tom had an interesting answer — something about it being [...]
How about a contest?
Safety is difficult to demonstrate. BMW’s motor and exhaust sound great when you turn the key. Mercedes’ doors clunk like a bank vault. But, Volvo safety is well hidden, just waiting for that one miserable day in our life. XC60 has been different in that you can test drive our City Safety system at any [...]
