Anyway, I am a great Volvo lover and my favorite color is white. Now, I am out of here.

Why do I hate Volvos?
It seems the majority of drivers in them need to have their high beams and fog lights turned on and they never dim for oncoming traffic.tommymonza, cnsper, Big John Classic HQ and 4 others Thank this. -
flood Thanks this.

I have never driven a Volvo, but two things seem to be advantages: first is the turning radius. IIRC they have a tighter turning radius than any other truck.
The second thing is they have both front and back air bags on the cab, while other trucks only have air bags on the back of the cab. That reduces shock from hitting potholes. This is the key to the comfort of the ride.Rusty Trawler and TallJoe Thank this. -
They sure are comfy...for those times that you have to sit on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck.

The length of time it takes to get one repaired. It seems in my neck of the woods that nobody carries parts and they all have to be ordered from back east.
