What's to stop you?   Find a second-hand one.  Our last one did 250,000
miles before it rusted across the bottom and had to be scrapped.  The
current one has done 120,000.  We even bought one new once, and only
sold it when it became too small to hold 5 growing children -- we had
two in the extra rear-facing seat with their knees round their ears.

But I can safely assert that the premise is false: not all Volvo drivers
are liberals!

(Now where else can this thread go?)
