Ahh the need to buy a new car
I went down to the Volvo dealership today. I was surprised that no one rushed out to greet me. Apparently, the salesman prefer the standoffish ways of their european brethren. I perused the lot for a while, and waited to be preyed upon. Nobody came. I started to get upset. Where was the hungry salesman ready to con me into a sweet ride for too much money. Eventually, I took a chance and wandered into the showroom. A couple of middle age guys saw me and came over. I told them I wanted to look at a Volvo and they seemed to ease up a bit. Then I wanted a used Volvo and they pointed the way to the used lot next door. (to be fair the car dealer guy did walk me over and hand me off to the used car guy, Ken. He was pretty easy going. I got the impression that he didn’t really care whether I bought the car or not. (I liked him instantly). Here is a picture of the car I want to buy.

I test drove the s40 but the s60 is nicer and has nicer body lines. I have liked that body style since it came out back in 2001. Too bad it will be my wife’s car. Oh well, I can still drive it on the weekends, IF we buy it. Just in case Ken is reading this.

This goes back to when you were a kid and watched the Swedish Chef on the Muppet show. You were overly affected by “derBorky borky derky duioo.” Now you gotta have another Volvo. Don’t know if it’s listed in DSM-IV, don’t know if it’s treatable, but it sure is billable. (I wanna ride when you get it because I don’t think I’ve ever ridden in a Volvo.)

Oh, you better believe Ken is reading this! They seem standoffish in the showroom, but the instant you’re gone they’re googling your children.
It is a nice car. I wanna drive it, too. Your wife and I are totally going shopping at Trader Joe’s in that car. What could be better? : )
