Viva Volvo

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.
Our First Snow
Posted by OurVolvo.com on Dec 12, 2009 in 1995 Volvo 460
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
Posted by OurVolvo.com on Nov 17, 2009 in 1995 Volvo 460
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 . . .
I’m Thirsty

Can’t Wait Until 2012
Posted by OurVolvo.com on Oct 4, 2009 in 1995 Volvo 460
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.
