Time for another Volvo Challenge. Reminder, keep voting for me. I’m not worried about getting the most votes, I just need to have a presence to have a shot. This one could be considered a bit more obvious in the marketing side.
Create the Ultimate Pitt Volvo S60 — How would you customize a Volvo S60 to show your school spirit?
I’m okay with this, because it isn’t like I haven’t thought about what I’d like my Volvo S60 to look like and the little extras
Let’s start with the basic appearance. Now, tempting though it may be to get a custom paint job with Royal Blue and a Mustard Yellow Pitt Script on the hood, that just isn’t realistic for me. I’m a little too low key for that. So the whole racing stripe addition for that 70s-retro look is as out as custom Wannstedt Camero.
So here’s the basic car.
You can design your own vehicle at the Volvo site.
This was the final set up chose.
The Volvo S60 comes with Sirius radio so I’ll be able to catch the games even if I’m driving somewhere.
It’s a nice car, but it needs the right touches.
Obviously it needs some tweaks.
Unfortunately, I live in Ohio, so they don’t offer Pitt license plates. Instead, I’ll have to settle for a license plate frame.
I’m a little torn on the floor mats. Nice enough, but I don’t really like the idea of wiping my feet on the Pitt logo — well after some games I would have probably enjoyed it.
A very underrated addition is a trailer hitch. Obviously, not for pulling a boat or such, but for the overflow materials for a good tailgate. Just useful to have one, plus it gives me the excuse to get the trailer hitch cover. Preferably one that offers functionality.
I don’t know about anyone else, but we’ve had tailgates where too late we realized no one remembered a bottle opener.
And obviously this for the drives on game day.
But the most important thing to go on the Volvo S60 is a simple decal that belongs on that small little window on the rear passenger side — that says it all.
You could also gold plate the volvo badge and line going through it, the area around the fog lights and grill.
I’m reserved myself, looks beautiful just the way it is.
Just wondering, do they want you to “junk” it up and make it a Pitt car, or how you would actually like your car??
If it’s how you’d like it, sounds like you got it right.
If they want it a little Pitt, and a little yours, then some gold accents would work. If done tastefully, they can really be done without looking gaudy.
Tell me how to do it.
Ref: was Chryst just drinking a beer and dipping? I’m watching the game and swear I saw it… then googled it and found this..wtf?!
Don’t care either way. Certainly dipping, but, really now, it’s hard to confirm his beverage a beer; that would be a very, very, very pale ale. Nevertheless, supposing it was beer, I like him even more now. As for his smokeless tobacco, I like him more again; he is certainly what Pitt needs.
Not being facetious here either. No problem with any of it, albeit I’d have a little more to say if one presumed beer became two or three confirmed beers calling the game.
hey, check this out!! PedoBear … “Keep Quiet and Don’t Tell”
Welcome to Pittsburgh Paul Chryst.
jk, erase that one INT that killed them and wisky probably wouldve won
The UW offense put up 508yds and 38 points and their fans are criticizing Chryst and blaming him for the loss…how about the defense getting a few stops? Also, you can’t fumble a ball and turn it over when you need to score almost every possession.
yeah, when your defense is allowing WRs wide open looks on deep crossing routes, it ain’t your offense’s fault if you lose
Now if it had been drunko Holgy, there would be no question what it was.
Wisky’s last 4 possessions resulted in an Interception, 3 plays for 4 yards and a punt, a fumble and then running out of time.
Eeh gads, I thought I was watching a Tino led team there for a moment. Just kidding 🙂
However, just went to the site at Volvo again and while attempting to submit another vote, I could not get it to register. Seemingly one vote per customer. Correct, or is there any way around this?
