Not only characterize the driver, but to do so in a blatantly sexist fashion. Still, it's nice of "my two cents" to share his roads with us "average" drivers.

John, I appreciate your trying to inject a little life into the forum. I'm far from being the moderator, but a big reason Brickboard works is that members enforce a rather rigid line of demarcation between car-stuff on one hand, and commerce and opinions on the other. It is done to keeps out trolls and spam, and it works.

The time for New Year resolutions is coming up, and I think some Volvo owners should consider resolving to become less smug and sanctimonious about their choice of vehicles. After all, they are only cars.
