This weekend I drove the gals to visit our friend's horse at the local ranch where she keeps him. His name is Caro. Isn't he the cutest? I asked our fleet manager, Mike, for any car with navigation because once I leave the city streets I am totally lost. There is no cell service at the ranch so if I took a wrong turn, I wouldn't be able to call for directions. Plugging the address into the Volvo XC60's navigation system was tedious. You can only use it when you are stopped, so my passengers couldn't enter the info while I was driving. Using the remote to dial in every letter and number was time consuming but no worse, I suppose, than other nav systems where you have to dial around for each digit. The system gave me directions that were very precise, considering I was out in the middle of nowhere. The ranch has a somewhat blind driveway that I easily could have missed. But the Volvo's system knew where it was going. When I pulled into the parking area it was pretty empty, but when I passed by the car later, it was sitting in a lineup of Volvos. I guess Volvos are the car of choice for horse lovers.
