These videoclips were recorded a while ago (in Metro NY, NJ, CT and FL) but still may help you when you consider purchasing a similar vehicle. You can see these videoclips and many more videoclips and photos (and data) on www.VideoVoom.com (and then under the “Things” category, click on “Cars.” On that page, look for the master list of vehicles by make and model and year and then click on the link to get a separate page for that vehicle.) Any questions, email Frank Sisco at ideasmoney@aol.com.

New studies indicate numerous distractions like cell phones and vehicle passengers put teen drivers at greater risk for fatal car crashes. However, some auto manufacturers like Volvo Cars say they have developed numerous safety systems to help combat this statistic. To prevent drunk driving, the ‘multi lock system’ forces the driver to blow into a built-in breathalyzer before the car engine will start. In addition, a special ignition key limits the car’s speed to ensure further safety.

This is a video I took, in March of ‘07, of me cold-starting and driving my car. It’s a 1984 Volvo 240 DL, but it’s the ultra-rare diesel edition. Volvo made VERY few of these cars, and they did so only for a short period (four or five years out of the 240 series’ 20 year run).
The engine is an inline 6-cylinder diesel, made by Volkswagen/Audi. Volvo purchased the diesel engines from VW and used them, instead of making their own. Go figure.
This car is in showroom condition…probably the only one on the east coast. It starts right up, as you can see in this movie.
This engine is actually really fast and powerful, unlike most diesel cars. It accelerates just as fast as my Audi did.
This vid isn’t so great. It’s hard to find a good place to put the camera so that you can see the car well. Oh well.
Enjoy!
