"The Swede Machine" or "The Volv" are what I usually use.

So I recently picked up a mint 2004 S80 T6 in a Ruby Red Metallic color which my wife does not care for. She has a Gray XC90 and red is just not her thing. I love it though and one day we were going out and I said why don't we take the tomato. She turned to me and said you mean the "Twin Turbo Tomato" and Triple "T" was born.

My buddy always made jokes about me driving imports so when i sent him the pict of my 1999 s80 , black with tan interior and already had tinted windows he named it papason. He said it a mix of a older mans car with the almost compleat blacked outside and a hint of my jap car days so i call my car papason. " dam u ben dam uuuuu

My 245 has been called "Grandpa's Swedish Mistress" because she soaks up time and money. Recently been called the 427 Big Block----427K mi. and looks like a big block of yellow butter. When my son was driving it years ago, his rowing team buddies called it Gertrude.
