I’ve used Waymo in San Francisco; I have no complaints. 

A Volvo dealer in NH has one for sale for 77K with 18K miles. I’m not a fan of the matte paint, but if I could afford it, I’d buy it.

I grew up on LI, south shore, Suffolk County. I’m not sure that 25A is the divider, probably closer to the LIE, but that’s probably semantics.

That may have been one of those things that did not move forward with the CX. I used to love people’s amazement when they saw that in the SM. 

Having owned a Citroën DS and SM, I’d love to at least drive a Cx sometime. Some of the design of the SM shows through, like using the DIRAVI steering system, which give you that 2.5 turns lock to lock. One interesting thing about it on the SM was if you turned the wheel when stopped and let go, the wheel would…

I’ve owned Renaults and Citroëns in the past, so I enjoy French design. Sadly it’ll never be sold in the US, but I’d consider one if it did.

It was very convenient, and a comfortable long-distance driver. I had zero problems with it over the 4 years I owned it; it only had the standard preventative maintenance.

The midgate is such a good thing. I had a first-gen Chevy Avalanche, and it was so useful to be able to have a short bed and carry passengers or a long bed to carry stuff (I was renovating a house at the time so it was very useful.) The Avy bed panels were great for loading stuff in bad weather and keeping things dry.…

The Vega was horrible; I had a friend who bought one new and it barely lasted 4 years, and that was with one engine replacement. As a former Corvair owner, I’m not sure they belong on the list; they were decent cars, but the ‘69 models were a bit bodged together by the factory. I owned a ‘64 Corvair at the same time…

A friend rebuilt a C3 with LS power, upgraded brakes, suspension, etc. It looks completely stock from the outside, but it’s become a whole different car (much better than that Indy replica a brother in law had - what an ox cart.)

Volvo has the port in the same place as Teslas. Now if Tesla would deign to set Volvos up on their platform, I’d be able to see how well it works; there are no Magic Dock chargers anywhere near me, but plenty of Superchargers.

IIRC they used to buy their cars blind so the companies wouldn’t know it was CR buying it and do anything different from the norm for delivery. I’m not sure if they still do that.

Nope. For example, Madeleine Albright, the Sec of State in the Clinton Administration, was born in Prague. She became a US citizen in 1957.

Shades of Henry Ford and the Ford Sociological Department checking on workers in the late-1910s.

I’ve owned several Volvos; none of mine have or had major troubles. My current Volvos have had zero problems. I’ve seen a lot about the Android Automotive-based systems that have more quirks; one of my cars has it, and while it needed rebooting at first, each software release has made it more reliable.

I have a Volvo with the Android OS, and it has been getting better with each release. That said, some car control features in Sensus have not made it over to the Android system, and that’s annoying. Most of the time I use CarPlay for apps.

I’ve owned one, and it’s so much fun, but the ad has so many off-putting things that I would not touch this one. You are better off spending more money and finding a solid one.

I’ll defend the vehicle voice control system, only because it allows me to focus on the road rather than looking at a screen to change the heating/cooling of the seats and to turn the steering wheel heat off and on. I think that’s the only time I use it.

The view is spectacular; the apartment is the altar to the god of poor taste.

For me, “Bullitt” was great for seeing parts of San Francisco before the 1989 earthquake. “The French Connection and “The 7-Ups” are much better.
