The lights Volvo puts on their cars seem to be nice.. I’m surprised to hear they apparently suck. What makes them bad? Is it the aggressive cutoff that shortens the distance of throw? Or is the throw pattern really bad? Or are they simply just not bright enough?

They just need to make a music video now like the Swagger Wagon one for the Sienna.

Sounds like the Batmobile.

Probably.. I mean the Flying Spur is no Mulsanne... So the customers that were looking at the Mulsanne will probably migrate to the Phantom. 

The first thing I always do is add the boarding pass to Apple Wallet or Google Pay (or whatever they call it now). This way you don’t need an internet connection, but this is assuming your airline supports it. Next thing I do is open the airline app as often as you can to make sure you get the latest updates and then…

The Extra $100 might not break your back, that doesn’t mean that the extra money you’re now losing isn’t exactly money being lost. Money being lost is money being lost. It’s up to the individual to decide whether they want to eat that cost or downgrade. Just because you might not “feel” spending a certain amount of…

THIS. Very much this. The things keep on going with little to no maintenance. 

I don’t know where you live but these new Volvos are everywhere. And they look quite good too. 

Looks like after 100lbs it’s considered air cargo which creates a whole new set of issues for you as the “shipper”.

Yeah, stuff like that they typically don’t weigh anyway. Sporting equipment, Car seats, etc.

The execs over at Porsche:

Yep. Usually they just stick an overweight tag on it. I’m not sure exactly what the limit is though.

I wonder how much extra for the privilege of having a windshield. Knowing McLaren, it can’t be free.

So... Basically they decided to borrow a page from Mercedes’ playbook. Nothing too earth shattering to be honest. Also most cars in this class should have heated windshield nozzles anyway which more or less does this without the extra added expense of special blades come time to replace them.

I guess it depends on where you’re flying. One other thing you could also try is to Buy a single Economy seat, and then log into the air liners “Mange my Booking” or whatever they call, and pick a first class seat and see how much it costs to upgrade. To European destinations, I’ve seen it cost as much as your…

Truck tires are not a good comparison. I mean you’re looking at 50-70 profile tires. In this situation we’re talking 35-45 (e.g. 265/35/20) profile tires which generally start getting quite pricey the larger the tire. Sure, your 50 profile tire for a 20" wheel might be $150 (I’m making these numbers up) but a 40…

Before you book an extra seat, double check how much more it would cost to fly First Class. Sometimes it’s much cheaper to buy a First Class ticket than a second seat. And especially on long haul/international flights where your seat is basically a bed, might as well go First Class and get that than an adjacent seat.

What I’ve generally found is that it depends on the airline. On some* airlines, the difference between Basic Economy and Economy really isn’t much. Usually just means you can’t pick a seat in advance, you’re ineligible for upgrades, and your itinerary can’t be modified, even for a fee as well as some luggage…

Running Windows in a VM is nice and all but you gotta remember that in that situation you’re sharing resources with MacOS which depending on the specs of your machine might lead to less than optimal performance. Sometimes you need the full horsepower of your machine, in which case you want to run on bare metal instead…

that’s too good of a price to pass up as these things don’t really ever go on sale like that. Ordered!
