star for your interior comment. the rest i really like - even now some 11 years later but that interior - shudder.
That interior is atrocious on so many levels. Additionally I thought the mild re-style the car went through about 4 years ago made it a much better looking car.

When I'm pedantic I prefer to be correct.
I think you’re right that seating arrangements are the most misunderstood bit of restaurants. Whether it’s not seating incomplete parties, not giving people larger tables, not pushing tables together, or making people wait when there are seemingly empty tables. Or even just what the host does, and what they’re there…
Seriously, it’s a minor miracle you made it out of there alive. I would have noped the fuck out of there during the practice sessions, forget the actual race. Great write-up though, it’s always nice to read solid long-form content.
So... maybe now do a bit on setting up your side view mirrors to actually look at the side, instead of the rear? That way you have no blind spots. I’m still amazed how many people don’t know about this.
I thought they usually move vehicles (if they can be moved) out of homes, if it is safe to do so, to basically remove any potential fuel that could risk the lives of the firefighters. Not so much sentimental stuff. It could be a geo metro in the same spot and they probably would still want to move it.
Yeah I think it's safe to assume they weren't making a choice between a car and a person at the time. Also, being generous, it probably took them about 90 seconds to push the car out...
That’s when I’d be crying over spilled milk.
Best 10 tips from a veteran Canadian driver:
Supposedly “Early 2019". I don’t understand why Volvo’s dragging their feet on releasing US pricing. Canada has had pricing for a while now. I’ve been using the Volvo Canada website to build a V60, then converting the price to USD to get a estimate of how much it will cost here.
I appreciate that and we have a heck of a team here, that does content better than anyone else.
Thanks, Tom. Yours is among the best content on Jalopnik.
Acceleration. A boat sailing with the wind will eventually reach a speed that won’t allow the wind speed to do much more than match the deceleration of the boat’s drag in the water. There is nothing to accelerate the boat at that point even though the sails remain taut. A boat sailing across the path of the wind…
Voltage has nothing to do with it. A simple static zap is in the 10,000-20,000 volt range, and stun guns are in the 750,000 volt range.
