The XC90 Hunt continues, Autobloggers form an alliance and Volvo speaks!
We're 10 days into Volvo's promotion of Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest -- do you know where in the world the Volvo XC90 V8 is buried?
If not, check out the growing list of comments on our first post about the promotion. Fellow Autobloggers who are embroiled in the hunt have banded together to help each other out with tips and advice to get past the promotion's trickier riddles. One commenter in particular named Digger is giving out clues in poetry form, which are a riddle of their own to decipher.
You may also want to check out Volvo's new press release that comes complete with inspiration in the form of the top eight greatest pirates of all time. First and likely most famous is the great pirate Blackbeard, known for his glorious full black beard and terrorizing the Carribean in the 1700s. Also included is an unnamed group of ex-Enron executives (pen mightier than the sword, haha), that guy in your neighborhood who knows how to hook up cable TV without paying for it, and Derek Brooks of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Check out the video too -- maybe there are some clues as to where the XC90 is buried.

CarTV.com has one video up about this event: http://www.cartv.com/content/research/channels/index.cfm/channel/cartv_video/action/showvideo/vid/f_0115/vcat/Feature/MAKE_VCH/Volvo/MODEL_VCH/XC90/
and is adding another longer, uneditted video today that may contain clues (I've seen the video and there is one shot with a truck in the background with a white license plate).

Yarr! Volvos are the cars pirates would drive! Yarr! This makes as much sense as a Paris Hilton lego set.
