I don't know if anyone has ever posted about this....

But here in Ithaca, NY we LOVE Volvo's!  So much so that there is a
Volvo ballet that performs as part of Ithaca Festival.

Here are some links:

Anyways I thought you all would appreciate this.  Seriously considering
how small Ithaca is, we probably have more Volvo's per capita than any
place outside of Sweden.

Of course the Subaru (second most popular car) owners got jealous of our
fine Swedish vehicles so there is now a group that performes a "Subaru
Samba"

(hm..perhaps the locals have too much free time?)
