Hello my name is Lachie and I’m volvo codependant. I haven’t spoken about it for 30 years. As the child of volvo owners in the 70’s I learnt about violence, the food chain and most of all car sickness. From the age of 8 till 12 I had to fight with my 3 sisters over which sap got stuck with the rear-facing seat. I lost. I lost because you can’t hit a girl and because girls use physical and psychological warfare. Think I’m exaggerating, try sitting in that stupid seat whilst Kris drives you around for 3hrs. I’m having flashbacks and feeling nauseous must run.

Somehow I can see Elliot making this same post in about 30 years!

Then he will point back to the podcasts someplace and say, "See! Do you hear them? What they did to me?"

Kris, that V70 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_V70) is cool! It'd be cooler if it was the T5 variant (with up to 300HP and/or a 6-speed manual), but it's a heck of a lot cooler than Slowsky! Think of it this way: it's a sleeper. You could probably speed through the subdivision in the V70 and not get pulled over! :) It's not like the bright orange Volvo 240 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_200_series) my dad drove in the 80s. On the other hand, my mom drove a '73 Volvo 140 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_140) in the 80s that was an ex-rally car and had huge Cibie driving lights on the front grille. That was pretty cool.

Oh, the V70 is Swedish...

Kris you sounded concerned about the ladies gathering around to admire Betsy's new car. I think you were afraid that their canes may slip out of their hand and dent the Volvo as they admired it.

At first I was thinking maybe Betsy could trade Slowsky for a Goodwill store credit that way she would not miss out on the sweet handbag deals.

Tell Betsy to be careful wearing those QVC outfits if her mom decides to grill again. I hear that synthetic materials like polyester are very flammable....just joking Betsy.

Oh, btw, that banner you made for resalequeen.com is cool, too!

Thanks Rich! Easy with Betsy in the graphic.

Russell . . . "canes" . . . ha!

That whole "vulva" sequence had me giigling like a schoolgirl too. Still out of breath as I type this... WOW! as for names... hhmmmm.. "the Swedish Eroti-car"? :) or "Velma" I believe it's Greek for "protector" which sounds pretty apt :)

Love your show, love you guys and all that good stuff. But if I ever here of you being in Green Bay, Me and my 100 lbs golden retriever are going to run you off the road with my granola-crunchin, brocolli-steamin, cheap-jaguar-smashin Prius. Then I'm gonna hold you hostage in your car with my vicious wolf of a dog until you run out of gas. Then I'm gonna break off your hood ornament and shove up your ass and make you walk to the next gas station. (In Green Bay that's significant) Then I'll generously offer you a ride back to your car. But you'll have to remove the hood ornament and leave it behind. And, of course, you'll have to take a back seat to the dog.

Good luck with your car search. May I recommend a Prius?

It goes without saying - this is tongue in cheek, of course. I'd give you Ferrari if I could.

Quite honestly, though. You drive a Jaguar, a kitty cat, a pussy cat. Then, you're looking at a Volvo - innuendo goes without further comment. Is there something going on there that you may want to tell us about?

Hey Dennis, I'm glad you left this as a comment. If you hadn't I would have posted it. Too good not to share.

You could read in to the car thing but if you won't I won't read in to shoving my hood ornament where the sun don't shine. ;-)
