As I said: The R is a lowered V70 wagon/estate, thus making it less useful as an estate while affording a harsher ride.

The R version is lower than the normal V70.

Apparently, you didn’t get it at all. I explicitly said that the only positive is that it is an estate (i.e. a wagon). Maybe work a little on the comprehension skill before bragging on the behalf of others about how you “get it”.

The only correct name for something like this is a palindrome of some sorts

That is great thinking right there. No, I’m not being sarcastic, for once.

Doesn’t matter. That’s the max I’d pay for a 20 year old manual lowered estate. The only plus in that is “estate”, all the rest are drawbacks.

All these stories - not this in particular - has put me off renting cars completely, to the extent I will see if I can get around renting cars by choosing different destinations to go to. All the frustration and stress dealing with shit companies is not worth it to me.

No way. At least 15k too much for a manual estate. Hell no!

No, he’s below average in IQ. And so are the people who think he was ever a “genius”.

Elons rockets can’t even go to the moon without 8-16 refuelling rockets to rendezvous in space, refilling the moon rocket, and as they don’t even have a proof-of-concept of the in-space refuelling, that isn’t happening either.

If they crawl up to you on all fours, lol.

Yes, let’s have a quota on Tesla/Musk, so that Jalopnik refrains from publishing stories based on everything shitty he does. That way, the Muskrats can live in peace, not having to be confronted with all the shit their hero does.

Shotwell is every bit as bankrupt as Musk and has no idea about rockets.

You’re confusing off-gassing with “new car smell”, which are the various chemicals used to manufacture the materials mostly. That quickly off-gasses.

I am supposed to like a new Rolls Royce, right? I mean, it’s the uber luxury vehicle, right?

Yes, majority of various fumes goes away, but that’s only the manufacturing products. Foam specifically, if made from something toxic off-gasses as it breaks down. Just like tyres (fluorocarbons etc.). If it’s part of the product, it will continue to off gas.

I buy older cars. The foam has almost certainly off-gassed all the chemicals that might be dangerous from the manufacture.

I am not whatifing. People who buy a 1234 HP vehicle buy it because they want to use it. And where do think a sedan will mostly be used: On the fucking public roads.

I didn’t say “tech bros”. I said “bros”. Apparently your definition of a “bro” is very different from mine.

Apparently you woke up a week ago from a coma. Congratulations! Welcome back!
