Oh my god, thats all i have to say...

That is a cement plant in the background and the "enclosed road" looks suspiciously like I380 or RTE33 in PA. Where are these guys from?

Not to mention the other lane was open.

it says "Joy, Pennsylvania"

"Enclosed road" I wonder how they got out?

insane. I wouldn't want to be doing 180 on a motorscycle in those conditions.

did you see the bike short shift from 4th to 6th, he doenst carry 5th the whole way thru. You could see the gear select lit up on the left side. Anyway, ya no way i would do that on a bike....

I thought it was going to be a girl Volvo ...

Still should be a "capital D" affixed to those umbasses

Doing that in the rain/fog/mist?

And yah... closed road my ARSE.

That being said... I do want to do a v8 volvo at some point. I think auto so the wife will accept it as the 'family' car.

cool car, asshat drivers

Well it is an enclosed road. Enclosed by the median on one side and the shoulder on the other side! They never said it was a closed road did they!

You know, Paul Newman and David Letterman had matching V8 Volvo station wagons.

When Newman was nearing the end, he drove his hot rod Volvo over to Lime Rock and took one last lap.....some of my friends were present. I don't think there were too many dry eyes.

~HERE~ is Letterman talking about their matching Volvos in a tribute (slide to about 3:30 on the video)

I've seen the Volvette at Carlisle a couple of times. The guy who built it lives in central PA. It was a relative's car passed to him. Building it has been a long process... but overall, the work is well done. Especially considering the surprisingly limited budget he has (not as much as you would think - he's not some rich kid).

No comment about the video...

Nothing new here. The first time I saw one of these was over 20 years ago.

Yes, I am old.

You saw a twin turbo LS1 volvo 20 years ago? Very interesting.

If those guys are much past 25 years old, there's no excuse for that E36 M3.

Okay, okay, I didn't look that closely. I just saw "Volvette" and got bored. Sorry.
