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.

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.

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.

Yeah, it always feels like you're being outlaunched when you're asleep on the line

Touche'! Guess I deserved that one.

Nice! what kind of volvo was that?

My parents have a 2004 Volve S60R, 5-cylinder turbo, 300 hp, allwheel drive, Electronically adjustable suspension (sport, comfort, advanced), brembo's, 18's, carbon fiber gauges... It totally kicks ass

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.
