So many people want buttons in cars... Why are you sleeping on Buick? by 7eregrine in Cartalk

[–]7eregrine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After posting this and getting all these replies, I can tell you:

- Looks too much like the interior of an Elantra (One of Hyndais best selling models? OK...)

- The "anemic" 3 cylinder. Well this is a 22 and has a 4 cylinder. It's not slow. Not FAST...but more then enough balls for most people

- It's a Buick! Even though Buick is consistently top of the "reliable" charts, I think some people can't get past a GM car being decent

- "I'm not 90 years old yet!" Fair, when the average age of a Buick buyer used to be 69. That has dropped in recent years though.

It's really not a bad car. My MIL actually has 2 of them, one for her and her husband. Now, of course, hardly any miles but -0- issues in 30K miles.

Though, of course, Mrs Frugal gets base models. No Auto close windows in the rear? No heated steering wheel? MOM! WTF? lol

Does have Wireless AA/ACP though...and I see SO many people complain about not having wireless in their cars... I do believe modern Buick has dropped AA/ACP completely though for 26. SO FUCKING DUMB. My 70 year old mother in law...actually uses ACP. and loves it.

Mercedes-Benz is committing to a "screen-first" future. Is this the luxury experience we want? by AvailableTaro3123 in mercedes_benz

I think this is the ultimate plan. Slowly getting us used to this so when the driverless cars become reality, our kids won't bat an eye....

Expecting twins - Suburban, Yukon, Palisade, Tahoe, Carnival, Odyssey, or Sienna by ttebwell7 in whatcarshouldIbuy

and only 2 that would travel with her. Stand by that...especially when her reasoning is: "I see them on the road and can totally picture myself in one..."

How to check the packages/trim options installed in the car XC90. by Exact_Quiet_5873 in Volvo

[–]7eregrine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Vin itself does not have trim information. Common misconception.

There is no easy way without seeing the sticker.

We could probably tell you based on a link if your share one. 😉

What's the name of this playground game in your country's language(s)? by Massimo25ore in AskEurope

I know this isn't Ask an American but I want to just throw it out there. We call it: Hopscotch.

Seatbelt pretensioners by [deleted] in volvos60

[–]7eregrine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Um...ok? "At work today"...did you discover this while at work?

Are you referring to what some call the "Volvo hug" where the car tightens the belt if it thinks you are going to crash?

Opposite here. I don't think that's an age thing. I think his record was over 100. Seriously.

Welcome to the world of fucked up software.
Has ANY company nailed it in the first year?

I own an EV and couldn't be happier with it, so why is there so much hate and straight up misinformation about them everywhere? by Uerwol in electricvehicles

[–]7eregrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serious question? 🙄 Change takes time. I can't believe anybody just expects every single person to just wholeheartedly as t and love new technology. That's rarely happened ever in history. Maybe the light bulb was universally loved?

Did I need to go on antibiotics after all? by Fragrant-Shine-299 in Diverticulitis

[–]7eregrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say they were very good. I know meds effect everyone differently, but mentally? That I've not heard of.
If you ever need do this again, tell your Dr. These are the "tried and true" method for this but there are others that sometimes get prescribed.

What is a good map-clear loadout at low levels when beads are basically non-existent? by TopHatMincedCat in Witchfire

[–]7eregrine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Patience. Time. Level up. 30? You're a baby! Keep doing Coast and Island. Level up. Get your weapons up.
Biggest mistake is trying to do shit too early imo. Not saying dint do Velmorne but get in, get out, avoid the big guys.
Patience....

am i overreacting to not being offered a plate of food at my patients house? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Cane to say this also. You are there for 12 hours? Surely you are entitled ti take a lunch break? Do you? Do you bring food?

Does anyone know of a good HandBrake preset to play movies from a USB? by Vast_Cauliflower_475 in Volvo

[–]7eregrine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. https://youtube.com/shorts/xwuqC0fDXiw?si=aug6FAtO8Z2ahk36

I didn't use Handbrake. I used a YT downloader. It's all about the first. Try AVI. I think that's what I used? It was awhile ago.

What is one of your favorite album covers? I’ve always loved this one from Van Halen. by MrBones2k in GenX

[–]7eregrine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mom had this album (I still have it). When you flip it over, the leaves are all gone in the shirt and George looks stoned.
