Remember them?

Today, I realized that I will never be able to buy the car I've wanted since middle school. The car? A greyish-silver Volvo, which is the make and color of car Kurt Cobain drove. The reason? I've been informed that it's also the make and color of the car that Edward Cullen drives in Twilight. FML

Yes, because wanting to drive the same car as Kurt Cobain is much less pathetic...

Its not even the same car. The C30 wasn't made back then. You're a moron, buy whatever car best suits your needs and stop being such a god damn hipster. Or be a hipster but learn your shit instead of assuming all greyish volvos are the same car.

#28 has it so ****** right the fact that you want a car just because some drug addled grunge rock god drove one is no way less pathetic than any girl who would want to drive one from twilight grow up Cobain dide like ten years ago anyway he's not even relevant any more

Wow a post on fml about the irrelevance of a man inducted into the hall of fame in 2014 posthumously after creating a genre. because your word matter much more to the world, right?

Go get yourself any other, though to be accurate I would suggest a 940 Turbo or 960. Happy Hunting!

Dude, football IS soccer in basically every country except America.

blehmeh dear, please go die in a corner. [:

F**K Twilight. Ruins perfectly good... Volvos? Seriously. Dude, a Volvo?

if your a guy get some balls if your a chick stop obsesing over a ******

Maybe you should learn to make decisions based on what you really want and not based on who had it first. YDI for being so stupid.

Would Kurt Cobain buy another car just because Edward Cullen drove the same?

twilight is a good movie. bt its soo funny to see ppl soo mad abt it.

Twilight is an awful excuse for a vampire story. The true vampire is a heartless, soulless, bloodsucking SOB who would have devoured Bella in an instant. To a human, that would be like turning down a perfectly cooked filet mignon because you'd rather marry it. Twilight has ruined the horror of vampires and in general is a sub-par book, and a terrible movie. But it is so funny to see fans with horrible spelling and equally poorly typed comments defending a national literary tragedy.

I haven't seen Twilight, but pretty much every vampire story in the last 200 years has had a romantic aspect (Lord Ruthven, Bram Stoker's Dracula, etc), and most in the last 50 years have portrayed the vampire as a tragic hero rather than strictly evil characters.

Yeah, at least in things like Buffy the vampires function like vampires and have a few brain cells to rub together. Not to mention the fact that they are actually attractive.....and bathe. And Twilight is really only popular because it caters to the romantic ideals of millions of women and girls who were too stupid to realize that there is no such thing as fairytale true love. Twilight romance is an outright abomination of love in general. Edward is a stalker. ......Harry Potter FTW.

Twilight as the BOOKS isn't so bad. The movies? Eh. Fuels the fangirls. But agreed, Harry Potter FTW.

It's not even love in those books... it's an obsession. Their relationship is actually rather sick and possessive. I don't see any love there.

#40 Actually, you just proved you know nothing of vampire lore. The first novels on the genre had a much more sensitive vampire than in the trashy horror genre you seem to think is the norm. Then, cliches became super famous and people forgot there was more to it than scary stuff...

Dear Lord people. Bram Stoker's Dracula was about a nasty, ugly old man who raped young women and turned them into minions of the devil. Drinking from the neck represented "sex" (in Victorian Times) as the neck is a sensitive place and often turns people on. The women in the books would then be killed by Vampire Hunters because they were stupid and evil and could not be saved. It wasn't until the Vampyre by Pilidori that vampires became more like Anne Rice's Lestat. Pilidori's book was published in 1819, years before Bram Stoker's Dracula. Vampires before were blood sucking minions of the devil, similar to the succubi. The typical idea is that a vampire is soulless and cannot be around churches, sunlight or anything good. Stoker was responsible for most of the cliches about vampires though Pilidori is responsible for the view of vampires having souls. There have been other novels in which vampires can come out into the sunlight. But to get to the point, the horror genre of vampires being horrific soulless beings comes from myth and legend and the new view of vampires having souls and being introspective and loving has not come about until the 1800's in which people were looking for a romantic Gothic sort of villain who could be saved by the love of a pure virtuous woman.

Excuse me moe, but there were "vampires" before ANY novels were published. Ever heard of folklore? I'd give examples, but the folklore book I own is not with me. As for the OP, I understand it; the rabid fangirls would pester you day in and day out until the whole fad just dies down. FYL, but really, buy the car... That way you can tell them off that not everybody who drives a volvo likes twilight.

@Flutist: How about Elisabeth Bathory? The noble who would bathe in blood of virgins to preserve her youth? How about Vlad the Impaler ( the Walachian state leader whose favourite method of execution was impaling the damned). Btw, his father was called Vlad Dracul, which in Romanian (Walachia is a historical part of Romania) means Vlad the Devil. Also, I just happen to live in Transilvania (also a Romanian region) and if you go in any village here you'll hear about all sorts of myths about vampires, myths that have been around since...well.......forever. I mean, c'mon, Bram Stoker wrote about a vampire that lived in Transilvania (actually, a couple of hundrends of kilometres from where I live) - where do you think he got his inspiration? And there are actually myths that I've heard from old people from said villages (who never heard about Stoker, RIce etc) who actually believed in vampires and said that they only come out at night and the method to destroy it is to run a stake through the it's heart, burn the heart, mix teh ashes with water and drink "beverage" My point: Legends about vampires (similar beings) have always been around. The fact that the Romantics have turned them into literary characters is a whole different things

This is stupid. Your life in no way screwed. You had how long to try and buy such a car? This is a terrible reason to be seeking out pity. In short, perhaps you can find some solace in your now ever-so-awful life by owning the same kind of shotgun that Kurt Cobain owned. :D
