Where was that shot taken Adam?

Also, for fastest Volvo in the state my money is on either Nathan's 944 (@500 WHP) or Bergen's 245 (@???), at least in the street-able category.
I'm sure one of the Jo(h)ns who never post build threads has a sick car that maybe 10 people who aren't Volvo OGs have seen.

Also, also not an IPA fan.

Prayers go out Matt. I'm so sorry this happened outside the condo. I honestly wish I could be more help but being out of town, I cannot Here's to hoping it was that weird hobo on the bike and the cops find him and get your bikes back.

Well since it's now almost lunch and PBR is cheaper than soda in Seattle...



Thanks for the concern guys, I'm working all my leads. I just left pictures and descriptions with Bike Mike, a 47 year old man from Arizona who has lived in Seattle for the past six years and is into bikes, motorcycles, construction, and living in the park. I've also talked to all my fixie community contacts and random homeless friends.

I'm soooo Liam Neeson in Taken right now

PBR is awful... life is too short for cheap beer.
