Our beloved S60 suffered a battery failure and then entered limp mode and stopped accelerating quickly. Towed it to the only dealer in the state. It's part of a recall, but the part is back ordered, they say 2 months at the earliest. Dealer won't do a loaner, I didn't buy it there, they suggested I call Volvo USA. Which I did, and they thought about it for a day, and then decided that my case didn't need a rental car. How does that logic work? It's literally telling to me pull over and it's part of a recall.

Anyone have any luck on getting Volvo to not leave you without transportation for months? We'll rent a car either way, I just don't think that should be on us given the circumstances.

This is likely my last volvo purchase.

UPDATE: I sent a strongly worded email to volvo suggesting that I might qualify for breach of warranty under Lemon Laws because it would be undrivable for more than 30 days. Suddenly today the local dealer calls to tell me that I can pick up a loaner today to keep until my car is done including backorder. Crisis averted, but still really shitty behavior on Volvo's part.

Anyone have any info on the smoke plume to the north? Closes thing I can find online would by the Rio Fire which started yesterday from lightning and was listed 0.5 acres. Certainly looks bigger than that. Hard to tell how far away it is though.

Did anyone go to the Atomic Fiber ribbon cutting today in White Rock? I was out of town today and couldn't make it. I am really hoping they released the in order in which neighborhoods are going to be connected. I live right by the golf course and have fingers crossed that we get it first since the neighborhood already has unused underground conduit. I appreciate any info anyone has.
