Are Volvos are becoming the whip of choice for Seattle rappers?

Looks like the King of Ballard is no longer the sole Seattle rapper riding around in a Volvo.

Or at least that was the word from the Twittersphere on Sunday when Macklemore announced he is the proud owner of a Volvo.  Here’s the exchange between Grynch and Mack, whose new ride is pictured to the left:

@macklemore: The word on the street is true. @Grynch206 is not the only white rapper in the town with a Volvo…I just joined the club

@grynch206: I would like to welcome @macklemore to the Volvo Owners Club. A race is in order.

While a race would definitely be fun to watch, I’d much rather see Macklemore spit a verse or two on another “My Volvo” remix. Wonder if it’d be better than this remix?
