Why the hell does Edward drive a VOLVO?!?
I mean, seriously - NO ONE thinks that Volvos are cool. Especially car people.
Edward is supposed to be a car person. A total car snob. No car snob worth their salt would drive a volvo. I KNOW car snobs. Car snobs don't like Volvos.
You know, in a recent interview with Jay Leno (an UBER car snob), the interviewer was joking with him about how he has so many totally awesome cars and she jokes that if he ever wants to trade one of them, she's got a nice volvo out front he could have.
He replies by laughing and saying that he could really use a new boat anchor.
Edward should have a GTR. Or a Viper. Or one of those crazy-ass concept cars that they test drive on Top Gear. Or... well ANYTHING but a freaking Volvo.
I get the idea of Edward trying to have the inconspicious car - but there are plenty of awesome inconspicious cars that are not freaking Volvos.
*sigh*
Oh well. Whatever.
My theory: Edward is nothing but sensible (or a control freak with OCD). Driving a Volvo does keep down suspicion as well as keeping his beauties safe. Car lovers keep their real treasures in a garage and only take them out on special occasions. Don't want to risk dents, chipped paint, sun damage, or acid rain.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, love your writing. I completely understand where you are coming from with being busy. I'm a mother of a 4 year old and am over 5 months pregnant. Still, keep up the good work!
