Default Finally a reason to drive a Volvo...

Ran into this while looking at PPR Performances website.



1989 Volvo 700 Wagon. Pretty sick headers.

Yeah, it's Volvette. I figured it's been passed around but I hadn't seen it before.

Sounds like his Dad was a Volvo fanatic and when he passed on, this guy decided to build it in his honor. Has all the makings for an ABC afternoon School special...

Doh! You're right. I already did but after saving my *ss by driving over to your old address and making the new resident hand over your UPS package, you deserve a 2nd positive.

He's part of a group called the A-team, they have a DVD out and its pretty sick. My boy bruce with a FRC vette is in it too. Nice quick family car lol.
