Why hate Volvos?

I constantly am battling myself over this question. On one side of the coin, the Volvo is so comfortable to drive. The layout is well designed for a driver. The tight turn radius has made me look pretty good at some of the places I've delivered, "No one else could back in there like that." It is a smooth ride, doesn't leak, and is quiet. The I-drive is the best auto running.

The other side? Double any repair bill. The electrical system seems to have a lot of gremlins in it. The headlights suck big fat donkey b#$%@. I had to paint the truck so I wouldn't be confused with the mafia, especially since I don't own any track suits.

I am always wondering if I should have gotten a beautiful pre-2000 Peterbilt. Love the look of those trucks. Every time I think about it, I chicken out because I think of the great ride in this Volvo. I almost bought a 2012 Peterbilt 587, but realized it was a lateral move and decided not to.

 

LOL!!

 

You, Americans (also not native to this land , are so funny some times Come on, not all Eastern Europeans, driving white Volvos, are bad guys

 

What's even more funny is that I'm Armenian by descent!!!

 

Ooohhh, armenian wine Georgian wine...that part of the world is my favorite

 

We don't say they are bad,just that they pick terrible clothes.

 

If you've got a recent VNL and not a VNM, look into the LED headlights. Not the ebay ones either, the actual OEM ones, or the Truck-Lite ones. Had a rental with them once and they make the stock headlights feel like you're driving with your parking lights on by comparison.

 

Come on now. Socks with sandals are very fashionable in Budapest.

 

Thanks! Been hearing about the truck-lite option. Gonna have to check it out. Driving by braille just isn't fun anymore.
