Are volvos for granddads?
One of my mates yesterday commented on my new car, s90, and said that I had gone grandad.
Cheeky bastard...I'm only 30. But I think they're completely the opposite these days and that feeling is still there for some. What you think.? |

Your mate is entitled to his opinion, even though he's wrong.

I'm a Grandad, but wasn't when I bought my first Volvo. Pretty sure my Wife and Daughter aren't Grandads.
As Ron says above, he's entitled to be a bit of a plum if he wants to.

I am a great grandad so he IS wrong, they are not just for grandads.
I was not a grandad when I bought my 1987 Volvo 740 turbo which wiped the ar*e of boy racers in VW Golf GTI's back in the day. I have matured now. But it was fun wiping the smirks off their faces.

Taxi driver, Freemason, golfist (all of which could be a grandad) But that would a taxi driving Freemason golfist drive? Kia are for neurotics, audi for arseholes, bmw for wannabe arseholes, Vauxhall’s for people who don’t want a car, Ford for people with no imagination, mini for people who think they are cool, VW for people who think they know it all, skoda for people who do know it all, Honda for those ready to die, landrover for those who want to be outdoorsie, and a van for those who actually do outdoorsie stuff……all French cars for idiots……... Stereotypes don’t exist because they don’t happen right……. |

Hi T,
Your so called 'mate' is simply jealous that you have the good taste and fortune to be running a 'quality' car. |

If it hasn’t got a big exhaust & sounds like its farting going down the road, its not ‘cool’ in certain people’s eyes. Give me luxury any day, grandad car or not! (I don’t think an S90 is a grandad car by the way).
