Default A Volvo 850 tried to race me on the highway just now...

Went out to get some stuff from the Safeway, and on the trip back a red 850 was in the left lane and tried to egg me on. Almost no other cars on the highway (midnight here).

Too bad my self-censor won't let me do stupid things like that. :-P

I wonder who would have won (80+ mph rolling start). The 850 was made with engines up to 240 hp. Sigh. Oh well.

My old 850R was one fast car (though it ate tires like Rosie O'Donnel eats well, everything)

An 850R, T5-R, or 850 Turbo would have taken you. Otherwise, not so much.
