Volvo, My Hot Rodding Paradox
I have been an active hot rodder for over 30 years. I have a confession to make. Although I cannot work out how it happened, I also own a Volvo. What’s more, when overlooking the poor power to weight ratio of the earlier models, I am in awe of their mechanical design. Nothing tricky, just that they go for ever, don’t leak, and are a breeze to work on. I have developed a thick skin over it. I score layers of ridicule and jest from my hot rodding peers about this choice of street hack. Even so, I have replaced my old 500,000 mile Swedish Chick Magnet with another one. Is that a hot rodding sin?
