New England B.S. Thread

Yeah, that's what she has, a Polestar. I make fun of her that she's a pole star (she did take pole dancing lessons) but then that obviously digresses into that she's a star at smoking the pole...


Anyways, the car, yes it's great fun. Really awesome to drive. My last experience with a Volvo was my step fathers Cross Country wagon which was so unbearably slow it felt like I was dragging an anchor all the time. So this S60 was a surprise.

 

I bought an XC70 a while back with the intention of fixing its issues and keeping it, but the AWD had every possible flaw and I got sick of working on it quick so I sold it. I actually liked the engine in that. It wasn't fast, but it gave the illusion of being fast. Probably because it made nearly all of its torque off idle. The seats were fantastic, too.

 

They did a good job with their lineup

 

Seems that way with all of their products, too. I have a trucker friend who told me his favorite trucks are Volvos by a huge margin.

 

They've never made a bad car, but they were getting stale. When I was in charleston in march seemed like all the rich white folk had the new body of the full size SUV. Looked good

 

I really like the "Thor's Hammer" headlights on the newer ones.

 

Charleston... How I miss it

 

Tail lights look silly on the new Volvos though

 

Hey mike yes you've got the right guy! Working for a division of nissan lift now. Thanks dude so far i love it cant complain only at 1800 miles lol

 

Hey Dave, how have you been? We were just talking about you a while ago. Pick-up any AMSOIL lately?

 

You worked for Tasca, did you happen to know a Matt Cabral?

 

Nice to see another Dave here in the group. Congrats on the new truck. Stay away from the 3rd gen forum though. Whole lot of bitching and moaning in there for people with brand new trucks IMHO

 

Ive been good back up here in Mass working on heavy equipment aahhh haha No Sir, i run it in the bike.

 

Sounds familar he in sales? Drives a Vette?

 

lmao ive been over there bunch of cry babies. looks like toyta fixed the 17's. I have a few friends at toyota that are top teir techs and said the 16s had a boat load of build qulity issues

 

Yup, works at Tasca Nissan Dartmouth now.

 

Nice I believe the sons or family of Tasca are big customer for ours. They have a gtr they race and we service it for them. We also picked up our focus rs from them. First one in the north east.

 

I worked directly for Carl Tasca Jr. They've got cobra jets not a gtr LOL

 

Haha one of your runners got into some road rage with me recently. I was gonna call and get him in trouble but he ended up getting pulled over

 

Lmao luckily I'm no longer there. Parts runners are half blind retired people.
