Beat Up Volvo Station Wagon

It's fast. It's durable and it's the perfect vehicle for mooning

After years of ridicule, it turns out that frost-haired soccer moms were onto something solid: Piece-of-sh*t Eighties Volvo station wagons rule the roadways. Americans are trading in their 2002 Audi Quattros for $5,000 Ronanld Regan-era Volvos that look and drive like new. For three grand, drivers can get a wagon that looks like hell, but that's all the better. The Swedish wonders are as fast as Porsche 944s and can take a pounding (two Canadians drove a Volvo wagon around the Earth in seventy-four days). But the junker's chief asset is the "way-back seat," something the SUVs and minivans have done away with - it faces the cars behind you, leaving wasted buddies free to press ham or twelve-year old girls to give tailgaters the finger. It's what Volvo owner Kurt Cobain knew ten years ago but the rest of us are only discovering today: Safety, style and a big "f*ck yiou" is a combination that will always rock.
- Jacob Ditkoff (Rolling Stone April 17. 2003)
