A photo of how it is to drive in Norwegian mountains.

I think the driver of this car could have used a Freelander 2 instead. And a SAT/NAV.
A Volvo is useless in places like this.

I guess this confirms the myth that Volvo-drivers are very focused on safe-driving and security.

Amazingly enough, -the car was pulled out without a scratch. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.

No scratches on the car but he needs to have new drivers seat due to a very strange looking brown stain that smelled quite alot too.

Volvo drivers think the "AWD" badge means you can just go offroad with it. They should really tell Volvo drivers that a Volvo isn't as advanced as they think it is.

No Photoshop here. Also the police were interviewed in this article.

Concerning the color of the drivers underpants: As far as I understand from the article, -the 20 year old boy who drove the car just walked down to the village to get some help. Seemed to be calm enough. Wink 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.

Well, the Volvo in the initial article was in a bit more rough terrain than this.
Also a little bit more "off road". Laughing 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.
