Here's my list:

1. Amid numerous other cars, I have owned 12 Swedish-built autos so far, with only 2 being Volvos.
2. I was recruited (Football) to attend Royal Military College (Canada's West Point, USAFA, Annapolis).
3. Former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper (and great patriot) knows me by my first name.
4. As a Canadian Naval Officer (on exchange), I saw combat aboard HMS Glamorgan in the Falklands in June '82.

Volvos can last 20 years (or more) ... If you've owned 12 volvos, then you must be about 240 years old. #1 might be a lie

I think one of the neat things is, since many of us have been approaching two decades reading each other, is you can’t bullshit. Our personalities come though.

I think that is a good thing.

2, 3 & 4 all seem connected.
That's a lot of cars unless you lease. I'll go with #1

BC, he only had 2 Volvos . But following your logic and considering he might lease his vehicles (3yrs avg) and using your avg. shelf life of a Volvo, he'd still have to be 94 if he got his first at birth.
