After you fill the tank, the miles to empty function ramps up at about 5 miles Per second until it reaches the full tank reading of 505 miles on my car

All the weird squaking and knocking sounds that come from under the car once in a while (or mile) just proof that the suspension is still there.
A new Lexus wouldn´t give me that feedback, so this is a feature as well ...

My door panels only need 2 clips to stay in place.
The fact that the rear hatch needs to be pushed down hard to lock is just a way to test my strength.
My warning lights aren't in sync with the dash board turn signals but that's just to remind me that nothing is perfect and it's okay

A will to survive like no other vehicle. Drove for several miles without oil....twice....in the same day. Survived a tornado and started right up after sitting exposed to the elements for 2 years.

Having to slam the tailgate multiple times to get it to properly latch is just an exercise. My Volvo just wants to keep me active!
