Volvo and then some Part 2

Here is the story she told verbatim, that not only brings tears to my eyes to realize how lucky I am to have such a great Mom, but of course, makes me think about the car too. :)

"When your Dad and I first met, I was driving this horrible little green Buick station wagon that was just a "piece", as Jaymie likes to refer to broken-down cars. He had a red Vega..... don't know if you can remember. Anyway, when we finally got engaged (please remember that I had to ask HIM to marry ME..... has nothing to do with Volvo's, but I'm just sayin'), we started looking for a more reliable car for me that we could afford. I was driving Jason back and forth from my apartment in Westminster to Little Grandma's in Denver. It was horrible in the snow, so Dad wanted to find something safer for us.

We happened to come across someone selling a "gold" '71 Volvo in his neighborhood. This was in 1975, so it was only four years old. It was a good deal and so we bought it. We found everything that everyone ever told us about Volvo's to be true. They are heavy, solid, straight as you go when you need to stop in the snow, and just all in all a very safe, solid car. That's how we originally fell into being Volvo lovers. Then, many years later, we needed to replace that Volvo and bought another one..... an '86 Volvo. Everyone learned how to drive in the '81 Volvo.

Then....... when Mom and Dad were able to buy you a car, again, with Robert...... we wanted to make sure that you had a solid, safe and reliable car. Volvo's have always been everything we hoped for......

You might also want to check in with Jaymie about THEIR Volvo stories. Craig's family are HUGE Volvo aficionado's. In fact, they have even travelled to Sweden to pick out their car and then have it shipped back. That's what I call a "passionate Volvo owner."
