  1. In the Netherlands we used to joke that the dog rack was a structural part of the chassis giving it it's famous strength.

  2.  @doposud  I had the outdoor/hikers and mounteneers version of the 3310, the 5210, that literally bounced back if it fell.

  3.  @shaggybaggums  I don't know, I just wanted the sturdiest one and thought it was cute. The 3310 wasn't as well known for it's indestructability as it is now. People have to find out first. But later one when someone needed to use my phone or speak to the caller, and just threw it knowing it wasn't a big deal if they didn't catch it.

  4. From the thumbnail I thought it was a Volvo 480 ES, but the sleak pointy front was the result of a few crashes. The 850 is quite a car and basically did what the 480 was supposed to do, get rid of Volvo's boring image, a market survey had shown that 95% of Volvo drivers wore white underpants. Because of it's powerful and nice sounding engines and handling it didn't just make Volvo's cool, it made the wagon, 'the dog house' cool for the first time in European automotive history. It also made the boxy shape of previous Volvo's cool retroactively. So it was quite an influential car. It's actually not that roomy allthough the boot is very usable, it's not that heavy either. It's not only sturdy but also reliable and very, very durable. A friend of mine bought one around 97 second hand with over 100k as his first car, he sold it 2 years ago. Not because it failed but because expensive maintenance was coming, exceeding it's value. They are very cheap because they are thirsty and expensive in road tax, and are the go to car for people who partake in one of these cheap car rallys across Europe.
