A supercharged Volvo station wagon

A while back comedian Jerry Seinfeld started a new program called Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.  It never caught my attention, until the episode that featured a Volvo 960 station wagon, which Paul Newman talked David Letterman into having it supercharged. Needless to say, with Jerry behind the wheel, the supercharged Ford 5.0-liter V8 380-horsepower family hauler did a couple of smokey burnouts.

Back to the program. You have got to see it if you have 18 minutes to spare. The two giants of comedy talked about how the machine nearly barbequed Letterman while he was on his way to a cardiologist appointment. They also spoke about comedy, past and today's. To watch the video, please click here.
