Maybe I should just stick with my car.
Some excerpts:
Scarborough also determined that Volvos were the most ''Democratic'' cars, by 44 to 32 percent, followed by Subarus and Hyundais. But although a lot of old Volvos on the road are driven by Democrats, the customers in Volvo showrooms no longer fit the old stereotype, according to a survey of 163,000 new-car buyers last year that was conducted by CNW Marketing Research of Bandon, Ore.
All surveys found that nothing is more Republican than a big pickup. ''The No. 1 vehicle bought by millionaires is the Ford F-Series pickup truck,'' Mr. Spinella said. ''They're farmers, ranchers, contractors, independent businesspeople. They basically work for themselves and they have substantial assets.''
The survey also found that minivans skewed blue, just as Chely Wright surmised in her song. At first glance, this might seem odd, because Republican car buyers tended to have more children -- 3.5 on average, versus 1.7 for the Democratic buyers.... Because the Democratic women get more of a say in the decision, their families end up with more minivans than S.U.V.'s.
Moreover, doncarlo not only drives an old volvo but it's a station wagon which is revealed at the article's end to be the ultimate dem vehicle next to the economy car.
sorry, the barb was directed to flip not doncarlo. Carry on with the volvo goodness.
directed at, not to.

Holy nuts! It's Flip's next car!
Well, judging by the fuel economy of his current cars I figure it would be more efficient for him to just cut out the middle man and burn the oil directly in the barrel. ;)
