Someone threw out a perfectly good S60!

There are 2 extra extra wide parking spots in our parking lot. Those that love their cars often "fight" over getting them. First time I got the dumpster slot. 🤣 (Wednesday is garbage day... Everyone knows not to park there then).

Any Volvo S60 love?

What the heck... Thought I'd ask if the TLX crew appreciate the S60. My 2 favorite sedans are the TLX and the S60. If I didn't get this, I would have gotten that. 😎

4mm tread depth

​

Went to look at a BMW. Advisor says "great tread on here, practically new! 4mm!"

I was like ....

Looked at me like I had 3 heads when I said .."Shouldn't it be closer to 10?"

4? That's almost time to replace?!? I was just at Discount Tire talking to the guy about tread differences. We were talking 10-11 is new.

I've never heard anyone say that in my decades of driving.

Maybe he was talking 4mm from the wear marker. Right? He had to. Is the wear marker 5 or 6 mm?

Has anyone heard this before?

Post Flairs in this sub

Just added "Mods" for any modifications. Anything Performance or tuning related, tag with this. Could be helpful for people that know how to use tags.

Are there other flairs you'd like to see?

LIGHT UP SWITCH COVERS FOR 19+

Aliexpress is kind of like Costco. Things show up, sell out, and you don't see them for weeks or longer. I've shared this in the past, and when people asked about it...they were gone.

They're back in stock! and entirely too expensive...lol But they look great. I think I paid over $100 though. Super easy to install. Just need a proper pry tool and patience.

Light up switch covers.

Dear Mods: Can we have photos in replies, please?

You have videos and links enabled in replies, but not photos. Just tried helping someone and had to do a video just to basically share a "pic".

I love how quick and easy the front icons are to change.

Ok so I'm watching...

Had to hear the bullshit. And it is.

But I have to ask: what's up with the hair? I dont get it. There's no definite line. Are they .. spraying his hair on? I try hard not to comment on appearance. I usually do not. We are who we are. But... I can't stop staring... I would pay the camera guy to zoom in.... What is that?

What's up with the IX?

Wife is very interested in this car. I know everyone thinks it's ugly... She doesn't. She actually likes the way it looks.

I'd like to buy a used one from a BMW dealer. None near me have any. None near me have any new ones?!?

Checked Beverly Hills, none out there either. I really prefer buying used cars from the dealer that makes them. In my experience, they generally don't sell shitty cars.

Is the IX a shitty car? The reviews are great, except for the looks.

There are several at a few non-BMW dealers near me.

Tell me someone didn't trade in an iX on a Mitsubishi?!?

First polish with my Griot G9

On my test vehicle, my soon to be sold Mazda CX5. Used the 3 in 1 polish that was included with the Orbital. Didn't do much to clear any scratches ... but it really doesn't claim it will. Just "minor blemishes".

Came out great. Looks fantastic.

Question. How the heck do I clean the pad? Googled, of course

I need, like a pad brush apparently. Until I get one of those, any other tips?

I've run water over it and squeezed so many times, but it's still got polish in it.

(Funny, I asked Gemini if the pad is disposable... 😂 "She" practically yelled at me. "No! That would be a total waste of Money!").

Unroastable II

To say you all exceeded my expectations on my first Unroastable would be an understatement. Bravo. I was dying. Great stuff.

I even searched this sub before I posted and there was one S60 like mine with so very few comments.... I was blown away getting almost 100. 😂 Thank you. I enjoyed that.

But now I present, the truly UNROASTABLE Volvo... my wife's car that we bought new in 2013, let me introduce you to... Bumblebee! (named by my 6 year old, at the time).

2013 C70 hard top Convertible.

Do your worst...I await your 3 comments. 😂

Unroastable

I await the sound of crickets as you all struggle to insult Stormy, the S60.

How badly did whoever makes these miss the boat by not making a Moose? This cannot be that hard to make. Surely there are mini Moose antlers somewhere in the world, and plenty of people know how to crochet.

/edit/ Mini Moose antlers on Etsy.
