I don’t think my owners really understand what it means for an older model Volvo to take a trip with them to the junk yard. It’s like asking them to take a stroll in the cemetery. And one can’t help but think what they are trying to tell me. But, being the good loyal Volvo that I am, I went. And it was actually not all that bad because there was only one Volvo there. It was so ancient I couldn’t even make out what model it was. So this speaks very highly of my family line. VIVA VOLVO.

Today is a special day!!! IT SNOWED!!!!. It is my owners and I first snow together since the releasing of this sight. I know, I know, it’s nothing compared to what their 940 Volvo experienced during the 2009 blizzard of South Dakota, but it’s still significant to me. I will do my best to keep them nice and warm and make sure my heated seats are toasty for them when they return from the cold. This is one of my best features which is still working after almost 15 years. Knock on VOLVO.

I got a boo boo today. My armrest has been cracking for a while, but it finally split today. Any suggestions on how to fit it. I thought about a band-aid, but this is not very attractive. Do those self-repair leather kit work? The rumor among us Volvos is that those “As Seen On TV” kits don’t work. What about this product called “Magic Menders”? I will try anything. I feel like I’m an aging woman in need for Botox. Hey that’s an idea . . .

According to dieselstation.com, Volvo has announced today that it will introduce its first plug-in hybrid by 2012. Pure electric power from the battery will cover the daily transport needs of 75 percent of European drivers. For longer distances, an efficient dieselhybrid engine automatically takes over. The combined range is about 1200 kilometres. Carbon dioxide emissions will average out at 49 grams per kilometre, with fuel consumption of 1.9 litres per 100 km.
“The new Volvo plug-in will be a truly enjoyable car to drive, featuring Volvo’s high safety and comfort standards. At the same time, CO2 levels and fuel consumption will be as low as half that available on the market today.” says Stephen Odell, President and CEO of Volvo Car Corporation.

So as I was out for a drive today, my stick shift knob popped right off. When my owner attempted to put it back on. It worked for a couple more days, but then started to crack. So my owner had this bright idea to go get another one from a junk yard. I tried to tell him it wouldn’t work. But he didn’t listen. So off to the junk yard we went. They had no Volvos and so my owner tried one from a Renault. WRONG! It doesn’t work, I’m a Volvo not a Renault. So he tried store after store and no one carried one that fit me. He even tried to glue my broken one back on me as you can see in the evidence provided in the above photo. Duh! I am one of a kind. I can only use Volvo manufactured parts. Nothing else is good enough for me. I do have a reputation to uphold you know.

We went to a camp in the mountains again this weekend and when we returned to our trusty Volvo 460 we noticed that another Volvo had been keeping ours company. It was just soooo cute that we had to take a picture. When talking with it’s owner he mentioned to us that his Volvo just like ours is aging the same way with the same cosmetic defects. We tried to speak softly so that the Volvos wouldn’t hear us and effect their self-esteem. Regardless of the blemishes the Volvo is the most trusty car and like my daddy always says, “it’s what’s on under the hood that matters the most”.

My owners were kind enough to treat me to a private get-a-way at an exclusive villa resort in the mountains of Bulgaria. They did so because they were so appreciative of all I do for them. And after that experience without me sleeping on the ground in a tent in the Balkan mountains, we have grown so much closer.
