    It’s referring to the Chicago Volvo Mafia Crew. Hailing from the Chicago suburbs and piloted by angry Eastern Block Europeans wearing Nike sweatpants and usually an accompanying fanny pack. They can usually be found in predicaments like this guy.

    It's a handy joke until you realize there are just as many, or more, white Cascadias and Columbias out there and most in much worse shape.

    Dont worry 80 is still nasty from grand island to north Platte so plenty of time for the flat on the floor rock heads to make the road a junk yard yet .

    White Volvo’s are usually the 1099 drivers from Chicago always running 70+ regardless of speed limit or how curvy the road is or conditions rain sleet ice or snow. Driver is normally a European or middle eastern often seen with either sweatpants and wife beater or shorts and sandels.
