The History of the Prancing Moose, By Dave Barton When the XC90 debuted in 2003, Volvo was busy organizing a number of test drive events, where quite a few Volvo fans came out to see and test-drive the new SUVs on some fast cone slalom courses.   Volvo was showing off their new, advanced Dynamic Stability Traction Control (DSTC), a first of its kind for an SUV.   Attendees were allowed to drive the slalom courses by themselves as many times as they wanted. One of the courses was a special slalom, where a professional driver would take a full carload of folks in the new SUV, accelerate quickly to about 60 mph, and while keeping his foot firmly planted on the gas... to the floor, he would then crank the wheel as fast as he could one direction, then the other through a tight set of cones.   This maneuver simulated a very sudden high-speed avoidance of an obstacle in the road, such as a MOOSE (of course). Volvo was calling this course the"MOOSE AVOIDANCE TEST."   This stuck in my mind as a remarkable event and something no other SUV at that time would dare try without a full roll cage and everyone in helmets. Then in January 2005, when Volvo began showing their special concept XC90 at car expos, I spotted one of them at the Los Angeles International Car Expo. It was sporting a shield sticker with a STANDING MOOSE profile on its fender. I think Volvo chose to put that moose on their car because of their Moose Avoidance Test. That sticker got a lot of smiles from the crowd.   I instantly thought it could be better as a Prancing Moose; a parody of the Ferrari prancing horse.  I had a car show coming up in a few weeks, so I made some stickers and put them on my 240 below for that show. The new PRANCING MOOSE stickers went on the fenders and tailgate of my 245 below for the January 2005 SoCalEuro Meet in Anaheim, California. The response to those stickers from attendees was a big surprise. Photos were turning up in web pages and magazines all over.   People eventually tracked me down and I began receiving many requests for that sticker (and then later other styles).   So I began making a few at a time. I never really expected it would become popular or something others would want... and the rest is history!  The Prancing Moose designs and images are copyrighted and owned by Dave Barton.
