Fair point. Not really wagon, more of a hatch. If my 2010 V70 R-D was AWD and 3.0T, I would have been happy. But, I sacrificed space for a decent powertrain.

Pontiac lives in Cleveland... with every busted-out G6 doing 20-MPH beyond its safe limit, with bubbling tint and fenders flapping.

I’m with you on the Wendy’s Spicy Chicken.  I’d put DQ’s crispy chicken sandwich as a solid #2.  

Yeah, people forget that many of the “good ol’ days” races ended with 5 cars on the lead lap. Nobody wants to see crashes, but finding a way to tighten the group is good. Otherwise, we end up with F1-style flag to flag runaways.

Disagree.  V60 with the 3.0L I6 are the best wagons of all time.  Or at least until I break down and buy an E-class wagon.

Just a guess, but I imagine that most of the people buying a “Porsche Wagon” have a “real Porsche” in the garage too.

I’ve never had a tenderloin sandwich in either state, but I did have a life-changing porkchop in Iowa.  Indiana is for soybeans.

Those of us that were around for the first pass recognize that immediately as “teal.” I’ve been seeing that more often, all that’s old is new again. Bad. I’ve also seen forest green coming back on MBs and Audis. Good.

Everybody hates when racetracks, race teams, and racing series shut down. Nobody likes to spend $10.00 on a $2.00 item, but your Ziploc of sliced apples taped to your ankle isn’t helping keep the lights n at your favorite track.

$60K for a vehicle with 1975 AMC Pacer door locks, wavy panels, and spray-can quality paint. Makes the Hummer H2 look like a sensible purchase decision.

Owner of two I-6 R-Designs (a S60 and a V60)... I appreciate that time marches on and I love the current Volvo styling, but I’m not swayed by a 2.0 mill.  I’ll hang onto my two and my “next car” money will go toward a weekend toy.  Sorry Volvo.

Regarding Volvo, the 90s were over-priced and the 60s were well-past their freshness date. I do believe this list applies only to the cars and wagons, though... the Volvo CUV/ SUV things are selling well at the 40/60/90 ranges.

If the overall cleanliness of your local Burger King is similar to the cleanliness of mine, this will quickly become unappealing. I can’t speak to the quality of the coffee, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been in any BK that gave me the sense that food safety was a priority. Honorable mention to Arby’s.

I have the Thermapen and swear by it... when grilling a steak at 500+ degrees, the time it takes for a slow-read therm changes “perfect” to “kinda too hot.” That said, I agree with others that the ThrmoPop is a cost-effective way to determine if the extra cost of ThermoWorks stuff is of value. I have bought…

Heh... Foghat. I got “ignored” by half of one of the those “audiophile” forums by comparing a lame song by one of the favored artists to a Foghat tribute number. So, mention Foghat and get a star.

Wow, this takes me right back to my 1987 BMX Freestyle days. Mine was a GT Pro Performer in yellow with white and blue trim. And yeah, blue tires. I want this.

“Loudly  defends his screwup.”  Where have we heard that before?

Good call on the cheese rind. Everyone should have a few in the freezer just in case.
