Looks like at 1 point he broke 210kph? Which would be a whopping 130mph+... on an ADV bike, on a BANKED CURVE? I’ve only done 120+ on a naked bike going straight and it was so ridiculous I’ve never done it again. Holy isht insane.

Apparently he’s now making YouTube videos, and just shot some of his retired 7 last month: https://youtu.be/i6A7Kx_YAjI

Ugh, the lede is SO bad. Stick to writing about driving ATVs in Texas; leave the econ commentary to the WSJ.

for the plebs, are there still ways to get in for cheap? (mostly to entertain the kids) . Dealerships used to give tickets away years ago, but apparently no more.

Ohio man is the new Florida man?

I respect, and hate, this guy, at the same time. Respect: htf do you keep track of all 38 cars? ODB2 GPS? Spreadsheet?

Respect: how will Mr. Oates dig out all 38 cars? Does he have enough chairs to hold the spots after he dug ‘em all out?

Hate: there is literally no neighborhood in Chicago that can accommodate an…

Fellow thrashed 10AE owner here. Even if it’s thrashed, don’t mod it. It’ll literally become worthless.

This is for everyone, actually. Is it totally stupid (monetarily speaking) to sell a newish car after only a few years just to buy the CPOd car of about the same vintage? Reason why: I’m afraid of this thing after warranty expires, and this particular car company’s extended warranty is super sketch (i.e. not their…

Already have vasectomy, 10/10 would hoon. (current v70r owner, previous E55 wagon owner).

curious what city you live in? It’s absolutely not a “thing” where I’m at (a giant coastal city with a Pulitizer-winning food critic -- may he rest in grace).

until you see the ass.

In general, this entire piece demonstrates why editors are needed, and how most Jalop pieces are simply not edited (or barely edited). The poorly punctuated sentences with many awkward phrases means the entire story was barely readable.

This is the most pointless uber wagon isn’t it? It barely holds any more than a A4, and isn’t faster than the E63. I mean my POS 11YO V70R hits 60 in 6 and almost doubles the space of this puny lil thing.

real talk: this thing will never fly again, right? like you wouldn’t actually spend more than what it’s worth to rebuild this?

So tired of this continnued Jalop harping on Volvo Care. If you haven’t gotten an XC40 though VC, just buy one off the lot. Can’t find an XC40, there are plenty of XC60s on the lot for just barely more money.

I really, REALLY wanted that deck in HS. Thanks for the memories of growing up poor amongst the rich.

it’s so freaky I still remember that tape deck so well; same as the one in my #RIP ‘97 Accord..

currently crying -signed owner of XC90 showing lifetime 18mpg, with fuel lights on.

agree to E63 wagon > V90 Polestar , signed XC90 owner.

additional thought: E400 wagon has built-in third row rear facing bench seats.
