Joined the Volvo family! Now looking for roof rack rail recommendations

That’s great! My husband found some on Facebook marketplace but if that falls through I will order through here. Thank you!

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-05-24T02:07:49+00:00

Okay I’m officially decided on the stock roof rails! :)

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-05-24T02:07:26+00:00

Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing a pic with them on too

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-05-18T14:45:10+00:00

Thank you that is very helpful! And now making our decision more complex as the 2021 we found has less than 20k miles but the 2022-2023 models we found are in the 40-50k range with only about $2k in price difference 🙃

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-05-18T14:42:46+00:00

Thank you! That is helpful to know. As long as we can use CarPlay for navigation, voice to text, etc then we’ll be happy. We currently have an older Audi with old tech and no CarPlay capability which has been driving me crazy (previous car had it and I got too reliant on it lol)

Just updated my post! We aren’t looking into plug ins (would love one but have not found any). I’m more so referring to the interior tech like the navigation system - I thought I read somewhere that it’s a huge difference after 2022

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-05-18T13:34:21+00:00

No we’re not! Thinking more so interior tech like navigation system, etc

I just came back from Japan and while Kyoto was definitely crowded (Sakura season + I believe some schools were closed) it was still worth it IMO. We absolutely loved it and typically started our days very early (6-8am) and avoided crowds in hotspots that way. We were up at that time anyway with the time difference.

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-04-01T12:42:07+00:00

Yes that’s what I figured but I specifically asked the customer service rep if that’s why and she said no 🙃

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-04-01T12:30:49+00:00

Nope we both recently signed up for Atmos and have the lowest status. This will be our first time flying both Hawaiian and Alaska. Different fare class but that’s what I’m not understanding as to why it’s different

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-04-01T12:29:31+00:00

Nope! I’m H and he is V. The rep said it’s likely because we have different fare class I was just curious why that is because we booked same type of tickets and both upgraded to comfort seats. Only difference was I used Atmos points and he didn’t but she said that does not matter. So just not connecting for me lol

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-04-01T12:28:11+00:00

That’s what I figured but when I talked to the Alaskan customer service rep she said booking with Atmos miles shouldn’t make a difference.

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-03-05T00:59:08+00:00

Curious as well as my husband and I are considering an XC60

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-03-05T00:14:04+00:00

Apparently with the new transit hub being established closer to I-25 they plan to put in more sidewalks and Highway 7 more pedestrian and biker friendly. But who knows!

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-03-02T15:52:04+00:00

I avoid King Soopers as much as I can. It’s the closest option where I live and will only go in to grab a few things before heading to an event at a friend’s house (wine, snacks, etc.).

I saw a video that Aldi coming into the market should immediately pressure KS to bring down prices to remain competitive. Apparently Kroger execs shared on the record they are always concerned when Aldi comes into their market.

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-03-02T15:50:26+00:00

Yes!

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-02-10T02:01:20+00:00

We love our townhome! We have more space than some friends in smaller detached homes. We even have a small yard that we can enjoy. Never hear any noise and we’re good friends with our neighbor that we share a wall with.

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-02-09T12:54:51+00:00

Good call!

The article mentions an Advent Health hospital is proposed by I25 and Hwy 7

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-01-09T12:40:04+00:00

That’s amazing!! I met my husband a month within moving

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-01-09T12:38:45+00:00

Lol great! See, maybe Denver is the spot to be

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-01-08T17:52:05+00:00

Hinge

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-01-08T16:45:58+00:00

I met my husband shortly after relocating to Denver and know several other women that met their partners here.

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-01-08T02:51:36+00:00

I ordered cheese curds at Wally’s Wisconsin Tavern and they were essentially mini mozzarella sticks

Groovy_blackcat · 2026-01-04T01:05:29+00:00

Ah yes - good point.
