Carspotting (47): Volvo 142S

While you digest the travesty that was the 2010 German GP (muchas gracias, Fernando), I give you the ultimate, stereotypical Berkeley car-- an old Volvo with leftist bumper stickers.


Here is a great write-up from TTAC.

Looks like a very early 142 because it lacks head rests.

As a Swede I rarely miss any Volvos-and Saab's as well,in Hollywoodfilms. The owner is never a republican! More of a liberal teacher-Garp for example. The Volvos have been so typecasted that you can use it as a strong "marker" in just a few second to tell you what person the owner is. (I'm not thinking about soccermoms because this "signal" I'm refering to is older...(Sorry for any incorrect language,try to write in Swedish and you will see!)
