    Wait, you paid 20 dollars for these each? That would mean, with proper math that you have just spent 100 DOLLARS IN VOLVO LIPS!

        No, my point is that you don't understand the splitter situation, hence your misguided laughing at my "expensive lip." It's not about winning or horsepower (well maybe it is for you because you think Need For Speed: Most Wanted is real life) it's about controlling the air that goes under, around and over your car. Volvo lips have proven impossible to make splitters for and if they're so flexible they probably yield at high speeds anyway, effectively counteracting any aerodynamic effect. This means Volvo lips are solely a style piece, which doesn't make sense because they look like shit.

        And just so we're clear, you've never been on a track, have you?

        Why don't you use the search feature and find any number of the pictures I've posted? And just so we're clear, I don't have one, I have several. Check the sig, it's all there. I'm not saying my car's aren't shitboxes, they are, just straight and shiny shitboxes. The exceptions to the rule would be the ones that are actually IN boxes and the red '89 which is getting a more or less ground-up restoration.

            So does it take a lot of effort to make yourself sound like a total douche or does it come naturally?

            You fail at math.

              Really? That's the best you could do?

              Your car sucks and your lip is ugly. Hmm, that was pretty fucking easy...

I DON'T FUCKING DRIVE INTO SHIT. Your argument for having a cheap lip so you can scrape it pointless. It's like saying it's better to marry a fat chick with a codependency complex, sure she's ugly as fuck but you can beat her and she won't complain about it.

                    Wow, I got "pwned" b/c I don't study the history of flash anime clips in forums?

                    Just figured those Volvo guys from Sweden would be all over a gramer correction...
                    But it is kinda funny... now that I get it...

                    Also kinda funny that some of you guys like to spend your time making gay little anime clips...

                      1. You got pwned, it's not that bad, I've seen worse.

                      2. Your "gramer" corrections would be less funny if you were as rigidly correct as you expect others to be.

                      3. It's R3V! Don't take it personal...........yet.

                      Will the real Volvo guys from Sweden please advise?

                        rigidly correct? I'll be the first to tell you that spelling is not my specialty. I dont think it was much of a stickler comment... I mean, it said "are belong". Seems kinda funny if you didn't know about that little flash thing.

                        And secondly, that post of mine that you quoted said "It seems kinda funny now that I understand it". Apparemtly this isn't clear enought; but that was me saying, "oops, I messed up and it was funny now that I get it."
