No I didn’t. First of all, I was probably here before you, and secondly, I was mentioning my bike as an example of unpainted metal that does not look as bad as the fucking CT when the CT is brand-spanking new. My bike is 5 years old and has seen hell, yet you can wash it in the fucking sunshine, drive it on salted…

You’re welcome :😀

Very cool! Thank you.

True. With the components and “gear” I chose, It just barely crests 5 figures.

Wow, that is horrible looking. 35 miles and that’s the look? Sheesh, it looks worse than stainless on saltwater.

It is. It is absolutely great. Hands down the best bike I’ve ever owned, and I’ve never owned bad bikes.

Made me smile!

Sounds like another potential Challenger disaster in the making.

Had to look it up. Does it skid-steer, or can the wheels turn?

Most people are idiots and think my bike (as in “cargo bicycle”) is stainless steel. It is brushed titanium. And they often think I welded it myself. But even my bike shows greasy fingerprints. Luckily, it doesn’t have huge flat surfaces.

“above and beyond”, remember?

Yes, that was my first thought too. It is such a stupid saying. I get that it’s supposed to mean that it is now different water to the water you crossed, but still ridiculously stupid.

That is definitely in keeping with their business ethics, or utter lack thereof.

“above and beyond” = Teslastan for doing the bare minimum, and only when insisting in public.

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.
