If your Volvo is anything like our Volvo, you could've downshifted to negative 5, and the engine would've still sounded pretty dull. Great cars...just not very sexy sounding engine noises.

Time to call Red Bull?

This thread title needs to be updated. I would suggest leaving it as-is, but change "It's approved!" to "It's built!". It's an enjoyable read that way.

This tunnel sucks, took me longer than deerfoot/Stoney takes. What's going on with Barlow to the airport?

Reading the last few pages of this thread will fully explain it to you, but long story short... it's not really supposed to save you any time at the moment.

Do you mean the section of Barlow that the new parallel runway took out? It's gone and never coming back.

Went for a rip through it on the way home, then proceeded to price out a better exhaust.

It still boggles my mind how many people think the tunnel is an exact replacement for Barlow to access the airport.

And with this tunnel...put the cell away, roll down your windows, shift down, hit the gas and enjoy the aural feast.

Did I hear someone say oral feast?
