Re: 2019 edition How many miles did you drive your P80 over Thanksgiving?
None, believe it or not! Took the XC90 to my aunt and uncle's around the block... 3-4 miles max. I actually haven't touched my P80 in 2-3 days, I made myself miserable by driving the S60
On a related note, don't buy an AW55 car! Worst transmission ever!

I think I put about 80 miles on this year.
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.
1999 V70 XC AWD 2.4 T -- ~193k miles
1998 V70 2.4 NA -- ~180k miles

Winter driving is actually a lot of fun once you master it.

I wish we got more snow around here to really enjoy it... we're lucky to get a dusting every year.

Re: 2019 edition How many miles did you drive your P80 over Thanksgiving?
Technically this wasn't over Thanksgiving but at the beginning of November my brother delivered my 850 to me in Arizona. Starting out from Hershey, PA he drove a little over 2,300 miles. During this little road trip the odometer clicked over 300,000 miles.
