Welcome back. We tried to save you a cookie, but I got hungry and ate them all.

It’s the thought that counts, right?

That’s one of the ones when they still had an actual inline 6, right?

Awesome - not that a turbo AND supercharged I4 isn’t also cool, but I miss when Volvo’s engine names actually meant something. My dad has a T5 AWD (with the inline 5) and it’s a great car.

This thing is something else. Platinum trim with BLIS too. Only missing adaptive cruise!

I think it’s worth it to give up a little bit of Accord reliability for that much fun. And it’s blue.

I’ve gone from the 2013 Civic, to the 2000 V70R, to the 2008 C30, to the 2013 Accord, to this...

Gosh I still love those XC70s. Just for the price I paid for this thing, I couldn’t pass it up.

Volvo for life I guess.

No, what I meant is that I’m awestruck by the similarity of our machines—T6, AWD, Polestar tune, P3 platform, etc. Besides, yours is inevitably miles more fun in the twisties while I, um, drive straight across them. They’re an awesome pair to be sure and I find it so awesome that they’re both a part of the Oppo fleet! Congratulations!

WAIT MORE SIMILARITIES although I’m really salty about not having adaptive cruise tbh and CitySafety is more trouble than its worth

"JQJ213- Now With An Extra Cylinder!" (jqj213)
11/03/2017 at 08:22, STARS: 1

I’m a bit sad about not having it too, but I still haven’t had a car with it and mom’s Outback has it so I’m coping lol

Tbh im not sure city safety even works lol. Between dad’s S60, his V60 now, and this, I haven’t seen it ever pop up or anything

Haha I really shouldn’t complain since Tucson’s “rush hour” is just having to go the speed limit and stopping at every stoplight.

Oh, I’ve triggered it a few times but only under odd circumstances; once when slowing down on the freeway and it didn’t think I’d stop, and once while pulling into a tight parking space where I could judge that the distance was going to be close and I knew what I was doing but it triggered CS anyway—so yeah, not terribly useful, that feature.
