The Door Opens

It's the top prize of any game show:
"A NEW Car!"

And today, it feels like we hit the bonus round.

In true Volvo fashion, we were picked up in a Volvo & driven to the factory.

We dashed through the Swedish countryside, over rivers and across bridges. With the gray clouds, Sweden looks a lot like Ohio in the winter.

Our driver told us to stay and celebrate "May Day" tomorrow. It's a national holiday in Sweden when floats hit the streets and residents here can say anything they want to politicians. As we quickly learned, the new car also knows what you're saying (more on that).

Upon arrival, we quickly signed some papers, got our insurance and then, the new ride rolled in.

Through a garage door, similar to the "Price is Right," appeared the new ride, lights on, top down. After backing the C70 into position, we were allowed to say hello.

The car is amazing. The interior color selection works perfectly with the blue exterior. In the light of the garage, the car looks almost black. Outside in the natural light, it looks blue.

One of the options: connect your phone to the car. Now music from the phone broadcasts to the radio. And phone calls are now always hands free.

Also free, our Swedish Meatballs for lunch!

There's a full tank and an open road calling our names. The world is waiting!
