The hood symbol for Volvo cars (which are now owned by
Ford {insert pitiful sound here}) is the word "Volvo" over the symbol for
male or
Mars. However this symbol also represents
iron. Volvo, meaning
I roll is printed over the symbol for iron, meaning
strength, together they mean "rolling strength."
I can attest to this, once when I was working on my 1976 245 DL, the door latch was being stubborn, so I hit the inside of the door with a wrench. The result was a dented wrench. My Volvo also could heal its self. When the bumper got pushed in, the car pushed it back out in about a week. Another time the reverse lights failed, after a few months with no reverse lights they just started working again. The car was built like a tank, the steel for the bumpers was as thick as the frame of a Land Cruiser; I measured. No one would screw with me on the road. For one thing I was in a '76 Volvo and they were usually some prick in a $60,000 Lexus with plastic bumpers. I think the air horns helped too.
The point is buy Volvo, you get utility, a car that cops look right through, good handeling and a feeling of security that is unmatched by any SUV.
