If it’s a T6 then chances are his trans is on his way out and there is no hope in hell (short of a GM HD rebuild kit) to make it right.

The problem is that your Volvo’s engine block is not made out of iron.

Ah yes, the shop equivalent of pissing in a dumpster fire. Had to pull up to someone’s house and borrow their garden hose as my engine bay went up in flames on my way home a couple years ago.

Remember this?

The liftoff oversteer and overcorrections, yes. That needs to be dialed back.

Orlove, take some proper driver’s training before turning traction control off on a benign, low-powered car, you talentless ass-clown.

I’ll sell him my 300+ hp Volvo 242 for $12k.

Those are anything but reliable. If the name of your game is replacing 4C struts, cracked cylinder sleeves, PCV blockages, timing components totally intolerant of deferred maintenance, and angle gear explosions then be my guest.

It’s definitely an electrolyte-based potentiometer. Clever until you realize you can get a regular old pot with a knob if you don’t want to shock yourself.

Actually, and knowing very well I’m being a pedant here, everyone should. Everyone pitching into the risk pool to look after the sick and getting them healthy as quick as possible is better (and cheaper) for society as a whole.

Hardly stupid. I would call it intensely pedantic.

That looks like a cartoonish self-parody car that would not be out of place in a National Lampoon movie.

Habanero, Spanish for “from Havana”.

I’d be muchc more interested to see what the cylinder bores look like, as that is a main point of wear in turbo engines.

Everyone won. They seemed to have so much fun together and got along so well thay I forgot it was 2016 for a couple hours.

Vantage all the way.

Me too

That there looks like a Volvo coolant expansion bottle. Neat.

I’m partial to the sedan, but yes, 8th gen Si is best Si.

I can never un-hear the JibJab version from ‘04, even after all these years.
