    Ok, so I'm dropping at an Amazon DC yesterday, held up at the guard shack per usual and see this idiot arguing with the guard, constantly walking to the back of his truck and then back, he caught my eye because he was in flip flops, neon basketball shorts and an under armour shirt that was reflecting the sun into my eye like it was chrome and yelling at the guard and into his phone in what I believe was Russian. Fast forward about half hour as I'm leaving there with an empty he's finally dropping and he drives past me and I noticed aside from it being a not so great looking white Volvo it was out of IL. I honestly forget the name on the truck but I think it began with S. Did I see one of these illusive creatures I've read so fondly about here? LOL!

    That was your first ever sighting?

    You've truly been lucky if so. They're everywhere.

    Luckily I rarely ever see one out of the truck but 3 of them passed me yesterday, left foot up on the dash, one of them texting, just chilling down the road at about 10 over the limit.

    They all seem to love that left leg in the window, foot on the dash posture as well

    If confronted by this mythological creature do not make eye contact. Long winded conversations in broken English will ensue. Do not wear bright colors or Addidas Flip Flops around the aforementioned. This can and will create a frenzy. White Volvos move aggressively in a straight line, but do not turn quickly, giving it's prey opportunity to escape.

    One good thing about the White Volvo's is that you will never have to worry about them taking 10 miles to pass someone like swift and the other Megas... When they get in the Hammer lane they hammer down
