There are only 2 kinds of cars
So yesterday I was showing my 8 year old daughter videos of a land rover defender running through a river and on the same page she saw a picture of a range rover. About 30 minutes later we were on on our way to a movie when she looked out the window and said, "there's that car we just looked at!" She was thinking of the range rover and the car she was looking at was a ford escort wagon... I laughed and said that wasn't the same car. She said "You know there are only two kinds of cars right?" I said really what kind? She said "Volvos and everything else"

I'll buy the alcoholic beverage of choice, up to $25, for whomever first shows me proof that vehicle has been dismantled.
EDIT: by mailing it to you, if necessary. What WERE they thinking with that paint?

Awesome story. My 6 year old whom I take to school in the mornings. I will ask her "do you want to take mommies car (e30 bmw) or daddies (volvo 854). She always says Daddies car. So one day I asked her why she always chose my car and she said something like "I like it better and you said it keeps me safe". Shes also said she likes how she can see out of the windows better. Her first car will probably be a Volvo if I'm buying it. Recently my dad purchased his first Volvo. P2 V70. Now we are chiseling down my mom. Trying to convince her on a C70.
