A lot of people complain about the cost of HOA fees with condos but I would much rather pay a set amount each month and not have to worry about a lot of things (while also building equity).

Make sure you keep it as low as possible and try to secure it as shown above. It's surprising how top heavy a tripod can be in a vehicle and you don't want the camera falling into a window or something with the first turn you make.

Isn't that a little bit of a circular argument though? If everyone started getting engineering degrees and going after engineering jobs, suddenly you'd have an oversupply of engineering graduates which would result in a lot of people complaining about their "useless" degrees and their student debt because they'd be…

Well, I'm only wrong if you consider all of those degrees useless, which I don't. I'm actually really surprised that you would suggest that so I don't know if you've had an especially skewed experience. The fact that you boil business degrees down to making power points suggests that maybe there's a perception issue.…

I feel like that argument fails to understand the current structure of our economy. You've already said that not everyone has the capability of being an engineer, which is true, but then where does that leave them? The "vocational" route is nowhere near as strong as it used to be. With manufacturing jobs disappearing…

This problem hasn't been created solely through the students choosing liberal arts degrees. It's always a popular argument that subsidizing the education system = subsidizing useless degrees but while there are people who get degrees that aren't worth their cost, there are tons of people who get valuable degrees yet…

They seem to try to hide it with the rear spoiler. It seriously looks like someone cut the hatch off and just left a really large D pillar.

"A possible new tire or two"...unless your car is AWD in which case they'll likely recommend changing all four if one is bad so the tread depths match.

This is a three year old article that was probably corrected...but thanks?

I know it's already been sold but in addition to the exterior damage it looks like it also needs the entire leather dashboard replaced. Apparently the warping/wrinkling is not a unique problem.

Volvo does it as well. They've had supplemental brake lights for heavy braking since at least 2007 on the S80.

Sadly, no. You have to be very careful which engine you choose. The T6 and early V8 models are known to give their owners a number of headaches. I love the XC90 but they have many more problems than the S80.

I would expect the Cross Country variant of the V90 to take over for the XC70. It really isn't an XC anyway, at least not in the context of the XC60 and XC90.

EUCD S80s (also known as P3) in T6 and V8 guise are also known to be very reliable. It's just that so few people actually own them. There are some that are happily running around with 200K+ miles already. Volvo message boards can be on the quiet side, with the S80 specific ones the quietest, but they are filled with…

Admittedly, BMW doesn't exactly make it easy with all of their versions of the same car. It's a wonder anyone can tell the difference between a 3, 3GT and 4GC.

That can't be a 4 Gran Coupe. There's no side vent. That looks like some photoshop job someone did trying to predict what it would look like before it was released.

That's probably the primary reason Volvo has stuck with the T6 designation for what is now a 4 cylinder. They can boost perception a little even if the designation has lost its meaning. I think their goal is to also get people to drive them and then not care, if they even care to begin with.

Are you Canadian? Because the price difference between the US and Canada causes confusion on a regular basis in the "Volvo's are overpriced" argument. They're far less competitive in Canada when it comes to price, which is reflected in their atrocious Canadian sales.

Suggesting that they should only profit from the interest is suggesting that they should sell something at a loss "just because". Mileage limitations are necessary for leases because without them people's payments are no longer tied to the anticipated depreciation. As long as mileage is a factor in depreciation there…

I think it's less about the cost of a home vs. a car and more about the fact that a car is a consumable item that will eventually depreciate to a tiny fraction of its initial cost, if not zero, no matter the maintenance.
