Not sure if that's still the case but in the early nineties it was common practise at the Dutch Volvo production facility that the quality control department selected, on an at random basis, cars directly from the production line for an extensive testdrive on a predetermined course through the local country side in Limburg (extensive as in a 60 minutes drive)
To cover 40 miles in 1 hour shouldn't be too difficult
Suppose you can always check with the production facility for clarification if you've fallen in love with that particular car.

i think my car had about 20 miles on it or so. i figured it was just from being moved around and what not.

Well I have it parked right in front of me. Without exagerating, I have never been this happy and wont probably in the next 20 years. I am so happy I just cant describe... it took me a LONG time to get a certified check so that I could have it today. Bank closed and I remained there for a long time... Ill post a new thread on the car gallery stuff with all the story...

now, for the non-believers (I know its PICS or STFU)



Sorry for low quality... I reduced the size on the digital camera so the img wasnt that good. Ill take better pics when its day time and I get my laptop back from the repair shop.

Nice car Demon! Congrats on your purchase.

Since it's an amarican car however, I don't know much about it. Am I wrong or is this an Infinity G35 or something like that? What are the specs if I may ask?
