At different times, it went through somebody's tool shed and a couple of fences, and several high school enemies got their yards trenched and doors blown off by it. Can't remember how many tickets I got, but I do recall getting away from the cops at least twice. I think that car spent about as much time going sideways as it did going forward. Never lost a race in that car, and even 30 years later, I still refuse to "drive boring".

Man I dig your style. My father was a cop so I never had to worry about tickets ever but racing - I'm with you on that. That car looks like it's faster than stinkaliciousness.

Awesome ride

Hot 283, three speed MANUAL (because automatics are evil ;) )

Bucket seats, tucked and rolled interior. Complete with Confederate Battle Flag on antenna.

1988 Volvo 240 DL in dark blue with a dark blue interior - 5 speed manual (with no tach!). I LOVED driving that thing in the snow... sideways.
