Mint is way better than cucumbers, so that sounds like a win to me.

The problem isn’t that it will all go away eventually, but that they thought that this would be a fun idea in the first place.http://panels.net/2016/05/26/on-…

Also, the Kingpin’s suits aren’t white. They’re just really, really, really light grey.

Reliability is fine. Turbo motors have been reliable for decades. People are just squeamish.

Have you had kids? Thank Thor that those seat backs are plastic.

I just sold my 2006 Volvo S60R with about 156k miles on it. That is a 300 HP, 2.5 liter engine running about 15 psi of boost stock. So, it’s not quite as stressed as the new T6 motor, but it’s also 10 years older in terms of release and 20 years older in terms of development. When I sold that car, it still burned…

You’re off on the 740 weights - those are the GVWR.

I own a T6 Inscription with just about all the bells and whistles. After 5k miles I can offer the following:

I was amused by it, but it hardly was the Second Coming of the Comedy Christ, which you would think given how much attention it has received.

Maybe being ground-based allows them to be more heavily armored and armed? Anti grav seems like it would take a lot of power, and more power the heavier the vehicle is.

Am I the only one that didn’t laugh at the Chewbacca Mom video? I feel like I’m missing something here.

Maybe they didn't like those engines because they didn't break down enough to give them enough work?

Except the mechanics have a lopsided sampling. They'll also see the cars that people don't treat well. Sometimes taking car of something properly is the difference between infinite life and breaking early and often. On the other hand some other designs seem to thrive on abuse. Then there are polar opposites within the…

I agree, before college my wife was looking to purchase a car and was good friends with a veteran SAAB/Volvo mechanic. He had a very solid 240 wagon for $800 which he refused to sell her. (As a kindness!) Instead, she ended up with a Sentra. I remember reading a line about Volvos once, "They will run poorly…

I think people confuse reliability with longevity. My parents and sister have owned any number of Volvos, and I don't think they go to the dealer appreciably less than other makes, they can just keep on doing it for 500,000 miles.

I feel like that's what every manufacturer mechanic says about the stuff they work on. It's always greener on the other side.

I had a nice '82 240 Wagon. Headlights needed a chopstick to stay on, sometimes, and I had to keep a can of starter fluid in the car, but I and my dogs loved it. It had a good smugglin' compartment, too.
