Yes, volvo in Latin means 'I roll over', which isn't too likely to happen with a Volvo, unless Barb's at the wheel

Proud to say my Toyota has only a few dents and scrapes.
Part of me (a really big part of me) still thinks it is absolutely hilarious when a mechanic says "well, Madam, we will have to tune up your Volvo".when I was a kid, I thought a vulva was a kind of car

You don't need to ask. We've seen plenty of pictures of what Barb does in a car. Apparently that's the main thing she studied in High School!Somehow, asking how many people have been in your Toyota isn't really that funny.

I have noticed that mechanics are always smirking when they tell me what I need under my hood ...

Are you implying that I and my passenger were doing something other than driving in my car?

Yeah but it is a Toyota, there were battleships that have proved less indestructible
The gallant part of me is suggesting that they probably can't improve on the parts they are smirking about, anything they want to do with the actual car notwithstanding.I have noticed that mechanics are always smirking when they tell me what I need under my hood ...

That's not to say they wouldn't suggest a tune-up or rotating the tires.The gallant part of me is suggesting that they probably can't improve on the parts they are smirking about, anything they want to do with the actual car notwithstanding.

Wonderful. Reminds me of when Barb took Karate lessons from Mr. Miyagi:My Clio's got a va-va-voom button!

Wax on! Wax Off!
Excuse me I have to change my pants
That's not to say they wouldn't suggest a tune-up or rotating the tires.
Or changing the air in my tires?
Sit up straight, Barb, that slouching is very bad for your back.
Shoulders back, chest, err, out. You might want to spread your feet a little, you know, for better balance.

Banned? But, why??
Probably, political correctness, the little sister of censorship.

Not enough gratuitous violence.
Because the button did not work. You either need to be able to turn a traffic jam on the M25 into an open French autoroute or have the can-can girls show up on the hard shoulder, otherwise it is false advertising. Now if they have had a team of crack (cracking?) can-can girls ready to parachute into your location at the press of a button it would have been fine.

And my 24 years old SUBARU has only a few rusty points.Proud to say my Toyota has only a few dents and scrapes.
My 1999 Toyota had 165,000 miles and still going strong, but I decided to upgrade to a new one.
