So today I did some groceries. While walking to the store I see a lady in a VW Golf IV park next to my car, which I thought to be weird since the whole parkinglot was mostly vacant (for real). Since I have some bad experiences with parkingdamages and people just driving away without a note et ceter...

I swear it is some people's mission in life to ensure others can't have nice things. If I had a nickle for every time my Volvo was carelessly (or deliberately) hit in a parking lot by some... well you know..., I would have enough money to have every ding pulled out and the entire car repainted Saffr...

The functionality is the same. I changed the wording. It makes more sense to like a post because of the ubiquitous Facebook paradigm. Plus, the button is similar to the FB "like" imagery... thumbs up. You won't see the button on this post because I omitted General Chat from this functional...

I'm pretty happy with that MPG considering the size, weight and aerodynamics of the car. Aerodynamics of a second generation V70 .... :? You have a car with one of the lowest coefficient of drag. The second generation V70 coefficient of drag is 0.30 cd. Better then a a Koenigsegg Agera R, 0.37 cd. ...

50% of us are idiots, so we need electrical supervision so we don't burn neighborhoods down. Mother nature does that ok.

Best thing you can do for the engine is get a bicycle for short and super short trips. :wink: Agreed. Except we are in America here, where bikes are only used to exercise, not to get places :o We take bikes, make them stationary, so that we can lose the weight we gained eating bad food in our cars,...

For HP, by far the best cost/benefit ratio was a manual boost controller . It was peanuts for the huge jump in HP. Even more cost/benefitty if you DIY one from stuff at a hardware store, maybe $20. Strut tower brace was a decent upgrade. Tires however are probably the most prudent item you can upgra...

Definitely dodged a big bullet there Shiloh :o One thing that’s always bothered me about P2’s is how the arse end of these cars reminds me rather vividly of a “sulky”. As in, the little trailer that is towed behind a walk-behind zero-turn mower - the operator stands on it whilst operating said ZT mo...
