How in the cinnamon-toast-fuck do you manage this?

Just like any other job, from the guy putting lugnuts on Nissan’s to the CEO, you’re replaceable.  People that climb the chain like to think they aren’t but I assure you they are.  Not sure what else to say there.

Do I think some executives deserve more pay than the line worker, yes, but like 100x the amount of their bread and butter workers? no.  I’m sorry, they aren’t that special.  The organization as a whole and its culture and good management at all levels makes a good company.  One person is not, and should not be so…

I don’t? I have a decent job, some of my favorite cars in my garage, own a home and I’m very happy. Aside from having a bit more of a financial cushion and being 100% debt free, I’m not sure how it gets much better.

I don’t understand the mentality of wanting 3 houses 20+ cars or $15k suits.  Shits dumb.  Be thankful…

I mean, the boomers can only make their snarky, misplaced comments online for so long before someone starts to make fun of them.

I find it funny they rip on “Millenials” for being “snowflakes” but the moment you make fun of them they get super butt-hurt? Not saying all boomers are long winded, know-it-all ass hats,…

I dig it.  We do need more wagons, its what people should be driving, not garbage crossovers

Who the hell makes 17m a year and complains?  I’m sorry, but screw this asshole.

A Volvo wagon.  Able to haul lots of loot, its a tank if ya gotta ram a roadblock or go “off the beaten path” and can still run even with severe damage, and its unassuming as fuck.  You could probably just blend right into traffic if need be.

I Agree that I don’t think helmet laws should be enforced with any kind of legal penalty, however, I just can not in my head at all understand why you wouldn’t wear one.

I’ve had one save my life, I wouldn’t be writing this comment right now if it wasn’t for a helmet.

Same with seatbelts and motorbike helmets, why on…

Question that I had that wasn’t seemingly directly addressed: Can the gas engine re-charge the battery or use some power from an alternator etc, to charge the battery? Does it have regenerative breaking?

I wondered about this, but I couldn’t help thinking the abundance of torque electric cars make might cause a lot of spinning?  No idea, as I’ve never winter driven one obviously.  I’m sure tho there is some torque limiting mode or some such that could be used.  For example, I usually start my manual cars in 2nd on…

1st Gear:
“Maybe we should all just buy used or vintage.”

I concour, all the car I’ve ever needed, and in truth, all the car most people really need. Safe, well built, practical not hideously inefficient.

“I miss the old Kanye, straight from the ‘Go Kanye
Chop up the soul Kanye, set on his goals Kanye
I hate the new Kanye, the bad mood Kanye
The always rude Kanye, spaz in the news Kanye...”

Looking at these photos makes me miss Mexico City. Not what I expected it to be at all. Spent a week there earlier this year and it was awesome. Highly recommended!

To be fair, it would be nice to have, but as the other gentlemen stated, parts are hard to get, its expensive to fix. Lack of ABS dosen’t stop the car from running/driving well. There are just some quirks you have to put up with on old cars unless you want to just drain your bank account or have nearly unlimited time…

I’m aware of those issues.  My old 850 had its ABS module die too, I just never cared enough to fix it. The rest of my volvo’s don’t have ABS even equiped due to their age, so I guess it never botherd me too much, I’m used to driving without it.

1st gear:

To me whats alarming to me isn’t so much the issue of fuel economy standards, as much as it is an issue of trampling states rights. Supposedly the far right isn’t in favor of stripping them away, yet, here we are.  Does anyone else find that somewhat disturbing? 

Ahh, ok. Knowing that it makes sense, but yeah, not a good design I suppose. Thanks for the information.

Why is it so hideous?

Still have the ol trusty Bosh LH fuel injection in the Volvo, still works great even after 30+ years and 200+ thousand miles.  They do make a solid product.
