Yeah, actually, you should do some research and find out that Americans do incredibly stupid things overseas, things they would never do normally. The culture shock and disorientation is almost a drug.

You should actually talk to some diplomats before using your jump to conclusions mat, these aren’t off base.

From the momentum of the hit, I would guess they both are

Besttop is by far the highest quality canvas

Ignore the “replace seat belts at 10 years” shit in the manual too.

Volvo is ridiculous, they have expiration dates for the seatbelts.

If he was infantry, the one you COULD fix with a hammer, or a medium sized rock in a pinch, would be the better option.

Yeah, I would shy away from self-representation in court if I was you.

The latest ones don’t seem to be having as many issues as the mid-2000's T6's had in my evaluation, but I haven’t had a lot of interaction with the 2010+ cars. EL_ULY would be better to ask

I drive a Land Cruiser now due to location but I mentioned it because I miss those seats. The Toyota/Lexus leather is definitely better, probably from more disciplined or dedicated cows with a poorer quality of life.

If your pet mechanic is truly a pure Volvo specialist I retract my quip, but I have found that the…

lol Obviously has never been anywhere near a military jet aircraft, ignore it.

We’ve moved beyond trusting chain-link fences for perimeter defense.

Tangent, but I am curious to know: Car and Driver had ECU problems with the P3 (2nd gen) S60 they had a few years back on long-term- the car wouldn’t boot or start or something, and Volvo NA had to get involved as I recall. Have you seen a pattern of that on early T6 S60's or did they get a bad apple?

You have a point, but I think you’re overstating it. The Honda transmissions used in the early 2000's on the XC90 pop to mind to add to your list.

I have many years of excellent reliable service out of the cars, one an S70 over 200K miles with nothing but normal service and a emissions system clog at 180K, but it was…

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Yeah, firsthand experiences living with and fixing family or friend owned 1500 series Rams, Caravans, multiple K Cars- first car was an infuriating 87 Plymouth Reliant- a Sebring, one Intrepid, and a couple Durangos and I just say that problems were the unifying link and stood in contrast the other vehicles in service…

I am glad she is enjoying it. I almost bought a RT with the manual because it was relatively simple, but I have been let down by every Chrysler product I or my parents ever put in the driveway. I just couldn’t do it, even though I loved the character of the car, I just couldn’t do it.

They’d feel right at home at once, and then become uncomfortable as they realize it’s because between the dark colored interiors and outward visibility it is like sitting in a rolling pillbox.

It’s a terrific cruiser, and can be tail happy if not “great handling” frankly. I nearly bought one but passed fearing the inevitable normal Chrysler problems. People used to BMW and VW reliability will probably be fine with those anyway.

The real issue would be how goddamned wide it is and the fact they wouldn’t be…

Here here. The folks who get off on these videos, for rage or titillation purposes confuse me. Volunteer to go out into the mix if it suits you, stop living by proxy and helping the bad guys get wider free PR.

Videos like this cause me to get irrationally angry. Due to my past lives in uniform and as a responder I know quite well folks all react to trauma differently, but the videotaping instead of immediately rendering aid just rubs me raw. I feel as though it just showcases the dissonance and narcissism that has infected…
