@VDCdriver It could be that title. I did not buy it, but bought a coffee in the bookshop and read it through quiclkly and put it back on the shelf. I do recall many inaccuracies.
A completely hilarious book called “You Are What You Drive” is a great social commentary. It came out about 20 years ago; I regret giving it away.
The typical Volvo couple are both PhDs and the only child is a prodigy. They wear natural fibres and were members of peace groups on campus. Husband avoided being drafted due to his great academic standing. He is a texbook publisher and likes classical music, I believe. Wife wears “sensible” shoes and avoids flashy hairdos.
Their biggest secret is that they were not members of Hasty Pudding while in college.
Their biggest fear is a busy signal on the LL Bean hotline!
The book has similar descriptions of Impla owners, Porsche drivers, guys with jacked up trucks, etc.
