Mom Can’t Wait to See Edward’s Ride in ‘New Moon’
Nov 18 2009 by Kristin Varela
I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that I’ve been bitten by the “Twilight” craze. I only have those bloodsuckers at Volvo to blame, and I mean that in the most affectionate way possible. I’ve wanted to see “Twilight” for a while now — for work purposes only, of course — because the Volvo C30 (full disclosure: I own one) was featured as Edward’s car in the first installment.
I was instructed by one of my literary-crazed MotherProof.com reviewers to read the book before watching the movie. And so my obsession began. I breezed through “Twilight” last week and finished “New Moon” last night in an attempt to catch up in time for the impending craze surrounding the latest movie, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” which opens Friday.
Edward’s car of choice in “New Moon” is the 2010 Volvo XC60, which I’ve driven and loved. His car plays such an integral part in the series that I can’t wait to see how well these “stupid, shiny Volvo[s]” are integrated into the movies.
Incidentally, both the 2010 C30 and XC60 were awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s 2010 Top Safety Pick. This is quite an honor because only 27 cars made the cut after a new roof-strength test was added to the criteria. This makes either Volvo a great choice for racing away from — or toward — vampires.
Don’t worry, I’ve already secured a baby sitter so I can see “Twilight” on the big screen during the one-day-only re-release in theaters tomorrow, which is just before the midnight showing of “New Moon.” I’ll be in line with the rest of the Team Edward tweens. Fitting right in, I’m sure.
I would love a c30. How many kids do you have. I have 2 and i know a bigger car would be more practical…..but it is soooo cool. Can it be a mummy car?
