Europe believes in safety.



There was once a time when I was in Prague with these two guys named Romy and Andrew. We were cold, searching for some famous bridge, and there was a calling beacon in the night. No, it wasn't a monument, an Irish pub, money on the street or even a random cute girl... it was a Volvo. What made this Volvo so special? Apparently the model was never released in the US. Wow.

In any case, we had to stop, freeze more, and take a picture that didn't even come out of this "Super Volvo" from the Czech Republic. Here's the picture, just in case anyone was wondering:


Jumping to the present, I was standing and watching Corinne take pictures of some neo-gothic cathedral in Vienna when my calling was heard. A lone 240, beaten and abused, parked across the street... I ran across, dodging the hectic Austrian traffic, and got Corinne to snap a shot of myself and the wonder-mobile. It was downhill from there.

I'd like to take a second to thank Corinne for her patience with this mission, and also to say that this page is dedicated to the Guzman family, and Alan Thomas. Enjoy the pics.
