Remember we told you to keep an eye on other cars when you're driving around Russia--because 25% of Russians have had sex while driving. News out of the UK this week adds another dimension to this important social issue. It should be noted that the proportion of Brits who've had sex while driving is a measly 10%, but we could have predicted that Russians would be more passionate.

The important news centers on the Volvo. We always thought Volvos were for dead-boring safe drivers, but a recent survey revealed that Britons consider them the #1 car for having sex in. Exactly how they're doing this is a bit unclear, as the report found "rear-view mirrors are the most easily damaged objects, followed by ripped fabric seating."

There must be a perfect marketing angle here to sky-rocket Volvo to the top of the car sales table in Russia, or even for a new tourist commission slogan. Drink Vodka, drive Volvo, get laid.
