Volvo 240 GLT Estate ’88

The ultimate sleeper car. No one ever expects a wagon to be awesome at anything other then moving lots of luggage around. The main thing that makes this the ultimate sleeper is because it’s a Volvo, it’s super old, and it’s kind of crappy looking. The Audi RS6 wagon may have over 1000hp, but it’s a brand new Audi. Everyone already kind of knows it’s going to be pretty good. This however is always a shock. It has about 400hp and isn’t super heavy making it very easy to get into some big drifts. It’s not enough hp to make it one of the best drift cars ever, but the fun factor is definitely there. I painted mine matt black including the rims and brakes. Gold looks amazing on this car, but all the trim was already black so I decided on that murdered out super sleeper look. The funniest part about this wagon is the colors in the dealership. They don’t even try like other car brands do to try and sell a cool color of paint. Look at any other cars and the colors are always named something interesting to make the color more exciting. With this car all the colors are straight up basic color names like red, green, yellow, etc. You can just tell they never planned on people using this car for anything other then what it was intended for. This is a must for any real drifter to add to their garage. Always good to have some pure fun cars to take out every once in a while. I also slammed this to the ground to give it a better stance, but I think if you raises it a little more it might drift even better. The way I look at it is it drifts pretty well now and will never be a spectacular a drift car so mine as well make it look as cool as possible. Cool points don’t count in the game, but they do online.

You can also purchase this Heavy Sleeper T-Shirt from the Team Shmo store. It’s fun to see people’s reaction to it. Some know exactly what you are talking about while others just see it as a normal shirt. I have one for babies as well since “Heavy Sleeper” could also be since babies sleep a lot. Can’t go wrong with double meaning baby clothes lol.

The video below is a guy who took basically this model and made the “Gran Turismo” version out of it. Drifts look crazy and know one expects it to be awesome. Even drag races a BMW M5 and smokes him lol. There are a few more videos on this guys channel with him drifting it and they all are pretty awesome. He also has some cool Supra dirfting videos too.
