In America, Volvos are sold as "safety cars" and therefore tend to be bought almost exclusively by the Birkenstock crowd of liberals and it is the overwhelming car of choice for soccer moms everywhere. This particular form of American liberalism seems to me to have two cornerstones: Fear and Guilt. Most feel guilty because they are so well-off, and tend to espouse causes that purport to benefit the underprivileged (but not with their money, of course). What they aren't guilty about, they fear: private gun ownership, their government, their cars - especially their cars and theis is especially true of liberal women. So they buy Volvos. Saabs are somewhat in that category, but not as much. They're the male Birkenstock liberal's car of choice. Of course, now that GM has ruined Saab's automotive division and turned it into a subsidiary of Opel and Subaru, I don't know what its future holds. GM ownership of anything generally means mediocrity in the extreme.

No, Its more like 6 ft, 5 and a half inches. 72" is 6 Ft ( a foot is 12") 196 cm = 77.43". You are a tall boy! To put this in perspective, John (Duke) Wayne was "only" 6'5", Sean Connery, 6'4". Rock Hudson was 6'6" - one of the few actors in Hollywood who was bigger than "Big John" (my cousin, Jim Arness, was taller than the Duke too). So, yer' in good company, Pilgrim!
