It was almost a night for safety first. (with vids)
First, yes it's a VOLVO! I'll say it again, it was a Volvo! Safest car on the road my @ss! Thought this would be an easy kill but I have to say this thing had some teeth. Now from the other thread we've discussed some of the potential but I have to admit I wasn't really impressed till I saw it in person. This thing is such a sleeper it caught me napping on the line. My buddy took a look at it and didn't even want to spend the gas... until we played with it a bit on the way to the track. Or rather I should say it spent some time running away with my lunch from a roll. The requisite back and forth taunting made me think I was about to get taken here and was hoping the grocery getting might at least run me by the supermarket for a resupply after it ate my lunch. I'll rummage around for the initial tauntings but here were the results when we got around to lining them up. http://www.koumotorsports.com/movies/volvo2.avi I have to say I was a bit suprised to say the least. So I went back to the buffet for seconds. This time I was determined to whip my trusty steed a bit harder down the stretch. http://www.koumotorsports.com/movies/volvo1.avi Vids are a little dark and desperately need the useless semantics edited out. Highlights what an amateur I am in the beater here. Ahh well. It was almost a night for safety first. (if you are having trouble with the vids try right click and save as) -------------------- |

Haha! That was good stuff. The comments are the best part. "I'm gonna show this Volvo my ass" "Did you just smoke us on the ****ing launch?" Hahaha, good stuff!

Everyone get's suprised by a grocery getter every now and then. Thanks for posting a vid with it. One of these days vids with kills will be a common thing.
