Exclamation drove a volvo S60 type R today and DAMN!!

today at work my boss asked my friend to go pick up a car for him. I had nothing to do and my buddy needed someone to drive the car back so I went. Neither of us had any idea what we were going to pick up and why we just knew we had to pick up a car. We get there and it turns out that we are picking up a volvo for my boss to borrow. We both saw that it was a S60 type R, but I did not know alot about the car. I was the lucky one that got to drive it back. So on the way out I look at the specs that are on the window and see that it has a 300hp turbo charged 5 cyl engine . I think that I got an instant smile on my face because the dealer hesitated as he gave me the keys. I really had no Idea those cars are that bad ***. All I have to say after the 1hr drive home (that sould have taken 5min) was damn . Most of the time I would not have been able to go because I am always busy, but I am so glad that I could today it made the rest of the day sooo much better

SlvrLx26 will become famous soon enough
It's a 2.5L Five cylinder turbo with 300 hp, AWD, with 3 suspension modes, and very nice interior and gauges! Oh and don't forget about the 4 piston brakes all around!
