I did this only once with a situation that I realized I did not have the tool for, worked out OK. I do one thing all the time. When I have an issue, I check the OEM websites for pricing on the parts. This way I keep the dealership honest in charging me a fair price.

Special effects are outstanding and the story line is very solid. I am excited to see the Robots home world and what happens there. Plus there is more to the characters than other shows have. Whoever wrote the story lines did a great job on the characters and the conflict while keeping the over all show interesting. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5232792/

OUCH, Yup I think the morons who wanted to leave the European union will be rethinking this as people lose jobs and costs go up as they import more. Not good.- 17 replies

Very cool, sharp looking EV van. I hate the floating LCD screen. Interior color combo is nice.

Volvo News: Volvo Setting 112 MPH Speed Limit on All Cars in 2020
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Volvo
Population control is what that is called. Imagine all the idiots we would have go away with an Autobahn style freeway system. Love the idea. Eventually it would be super safe once the morons who cannot drive or are afraid to drive are off the road. After all driving is a privilege earned and we have so many idiots that think it is a right. We really do need retraining of the drivers in this country. -
Volvo News: Volvo Setting 112 MPH Speed Limit on All Cars in 2020

@Drew Dowdell @ccap41 Now not a Fact, but according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn you have 3 speeds, far right is max of 130kph, middle lane is up to 150 kph and far left lane is for auto's 170kph and above. I am thinking the 180 kph is to allow all driving on the autobahn but keep a lid on the top end speed to keep the auto safe? ?♂️ I do question the speed limits as auto's have gotten so safe and according to wiki again the crash and death rates on the autobahn are some of the lowest anywhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_Germany -
Thanks CCAP41, I looked around. Interesting concept. For the Amazon type buyers, this should work. For me, I like to see it before even putting a dollar down. Very different way of buying, that is for sure.

True, but still cool to see someone building true concepts to get consumer feedback.

Cute little bugger, the 31 mile range should be good for most inner city folks that just need to run errands. Cool, glad it is here. I hope it does well for jeep!

Very cool, I love the poke at the large multi screen with all those little ones. LOL Overall I like that they state bigger interior in a smaller package. Hopefully they really deliver on this.

Tesla has plenty of problems and I do not get how you can say they look better than the Polestar 2. Tesla is butt ugly compared to this. The Chinese made a better looking EV than an American created company. This is the competition that we have and we need to stop being lazy. People want normal looking auto's, not jelly bean bland cars and CUVs like Tesla makes. Tesla has some of the best battery packs, circuit boards and ideas, but their styling leave much to be desired. This will be proven out as more and more EV's hit the market and people leave Tesla in droves to go with other brands.

As they say, each person's mileage will vary. I have never had the issues I see posted here by so many with Android. Could be the version of phone i have used and the lack of using social media stuff. I am happy that everyone seems to find a phone that works for them. They are all good and all do what they were designed for, sadly 3rd party apps can really mess up a phone. Keep them backed up and recoverable by the cloud and you should never lose your info. Tonight just got update 16 for my Note 8 from Android. Have to say the updates are very solid.

Funny, still does that now. Everytime my bus goes by the downtown store which has a bus stop out front, my phone buzzes me to sign in. I do have the right to ignore it for that time, but it does it again the next day. I will agree that is a bit annoying.

I have a case and one of those gorilla glass covers and still, one day I had work gloves on, tried to put my phone back into my back pocket and missed and dropped less than 4 feet and my screen shattered. Still works, but pissed me off as it is the first phone ever that this happened to. Front camera is worthless, but I rarely took any selfies, so no big deal, back camera works good. They want $350 to replace the screen and camera. Hard to see, but there are crack lines all over the whole thing besides the hole over the selfie camera.

Volvo News: Volvo Setting 112 MPH Speed Limit on All Cars in 2020
G. David Felt replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Volvo
Just give me the real important number TORQUE! Let me move to highway speed quickly, many of GMs auto's do that, but plenty of others are pathetic trying to get up to highway speed. -
Yes true it is, but as an electric auto, One would think they could make the interior space roomy and comfy even for big people like me. Yes most are not 6'6" tall 290lbs, but still I can fit in a Bolt, so if Tesla is doing their job right, I should fit in a Tesla X which is very hard for me to do. That is sad Panda for me.

Nothing like a 1971 Buick Estate Wagon, all 227 inches of her with a 455 V8 good for 355HP at 10 mpg. This station wagon as I learned is 3 inches longer than today's Chevrolet Suburban.

Was in lovely shape. Person really cares for their car.

Will be cramped, sadly having sat in the S, X and 3, I see no reason they will improve the interior room beyond the current crackjack box. Sad, as it is exciting that more and more EV options come out but they really need to learn how to build an EV with room inside. Bolt is roomier inside than any Tesla.
