I knew I loved my wife even more when we bought the T5M for a kid hauler, the sales guy carefully said "Do you know how to drive a manual" and she said "Yeah - you can chirp the tires in all the gears..."

Sounds like he was stuck in the old "even your wife can drive it" - time..

Brilliant old Amazon ads on YouTube if anyone's missed them. Also old 140 ads that make fun of American cars' rather questionable reliability..

Now I'm stirring up trouble on TurboBricks facebook group, where I posted that meme :lol:

"Take that sh!t back to Volvospeed" -- one commenter :D

I corrected him with a "Matthews Volvo Site ;-)"

Checked them out on Volvo TV on YouTube. I remember too many of what I saw from TV when I was a kid. I liked the idea suggested in one since Volvo will last way beyond car payments, you can then buy the wife a fur coat on payments later!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: June
