Beat me to it. Saw the ‘lodestar’ and immediately thought “Hmm, either Erwin Raphael was the author of the NYT op-ed on Trump, or they both use the same word-a-day calendar.”

Concept:

Let us know what—and who—you want to see in this space.

I said I didn’t completely disagree. I think that the US could benefit from a graduated licensing class that takes power-to-weight (and gross weight — re: SUVs) into account, with corresponding education and testing to prove a driver has the competency to handle such a vehicle.

I’ve seen that warning on plenty of receipts. I uploaded the receipt, and all I did was highlight where it says “PREM” and blacked out the digits of his card.

Exactly.

So, that’s just like, your opinion.

but can you ride a Harley without becoming one of “those guys”?

You can drive a Wrangler without being that Guy, but I understand your reluctance. You can use turn signals in a BMW, and you can avoid pedestrians in a Mustang, but you will always be lumped in with the worst of the bunch.

I’d love to see Jalopnik break off from the garbage that is the rest of formerly known as Gawker universe trash.

You can look at an Aston from inside a Porsche.

The Aston will be falling apart and the 911 will be going up in value.

Nah, I’d still have the 911, because I’m a snotty Porsche snob and I know the Aston likely won’t hold up well past a few years.

This is almost identical to my V70R. Same year, same color, same interior, stick shift (but no jump seat, unfortunately). Mine has fewer miles (about 111,000 when I bought it), and I paid slightly more than what this seller is asking.

As a recent owner of the sedan sibling this is super NP, especially with the bevel gear mod being done preemptively. Parts aren’t cheap, think $1400 a corner for the adjustable shocks but the aftermarket is alive and well, as are the internet boards for Rrrrrrr’s. The handling is outstanding, they are quick, even by…

You’re not really going to get a better price for this car. The manual makes it fairly rare, to the point that cars.com has exactly five V70 manuals right now, one of which is a 2006 136,000 mile Turbo R going for $12,000.

The angle gear issues are literally THE ONLY reason I’ve not bought one in all these years. If there was ever a permanent fix for the crappy Haldex units, I’d buy one in a heart beat in sedan form. The car above has now been sold, but for good reason and it was going to be NP from me anyway. That’s a lot of vehicle…

We do live in a golden age of used cars. 300hp, wagon, manual, AWD, cool-ish badge,can be serviced/worked on at home, $8000. If you don’t like this, just quit the site and don’t look back. You were never meant for it, it was never meant for you.

Turbo, AWD, manual transmission Volvo wagon?? Literally the Jalop car minus being brown. NP for days!
