Great example of hard work, dedication and amazing fabrication. Always good to see innovation and people embracing new ideas!

Yep

What jrhmobile said, but also the fact that the 850/V70, while great cars, are more difficult to repair, and more expensive to maintain. That comes from experience. As Volvo’s became more modern, they became much more complicated.

“That makes the mill good for a modest but reasonable 162 horsepower which is enough to cart around the car’s 4,365 pounds suitably if without much drama.”

I have always found some of the best off road content to be from Australia. One of my favourite Aussie yt channels is “4wd action”, just straight up entertaining automotive content. 

Did you cry inside? Because I would have. 

Speaking of stop light creepers. It’s always at an advance green. So I patiently wait until I know the light is going to go green, then make haste through the intersection. Not in an aggressive fashion, but with purpose. This is simply a passive aggressive way to ensure that the creeper beside me understands that…

Man, dat driveshaft angle tho!

The thought of trips makes me both laugh and shudder in horror.

Agreed. I've made the mistake of having a 35 series sidewall before.

Should we really be pointing our finger at "big rubber" ?

Just another example of our slow and long descent into automotive nihilism.

In the words of the up and coming generation...

I wonder when 24 inch wheels will become the norm.

Hmm. I wonder if that’s why the Nazi’s made the capital of the American Reich New York after they nuked DC. 

I always said we should throw flat earthers off the edge. That'll show em. 

FINALLY

No heated seats?! Even my ‘90 Volvo 240 DL has heated seats!

I was gonna ask how much of a pain that SLS would be to fix or maintain.

Hahaha, yeah I didn't want to drop knowledge unless it was really necessary. But yeah, that GM coal engine is wack, like using a conveyor belt to feed it in and everything.
