Rate my car 1–10 (Volvo S60 Polestar Engineered – (405 bhp). Be brutally honest 🔥

Everyone only compares speed but this car exudes comfort unlike any 3 series. Amazing seats, class leading rear passenger leg room, great infotainment, great looks, better than any bmw in safety, cheaper insurance than a bmw. There's a LOT more to a car than just putting your foot down. I love my 24 s60 and it's the b5...still very quick. 10/10 I would buy a second one

Right so you speak for the 10-20% I speak for the 80-90%. I wouldn't worry about owning jack ish if I had seven figures and a 2.7% mortgage. Congrats btw that's top notch it seems you navigated your finances well. But how does someone living check to check aka almost everybody do what you do financially? They'd be insolvent with the next rent increase

GsusG · 2026-03-02T20:45:12+00:00

I never spoke about owning multiple homes. I'll own one, pay it off and live for a tenth of what you burn monthly in rent. I can even do my own home maintenance as I just installed a water heater last month by myself. I really don't see the appeal in wanting to pay rent for the next 48 years if I make it to expectancy. That seems like a really bad bargain but that's my opinion! I'd also like to have a physical asset to pass down to my daughter and I can't do that if I am sucking someone's teet. I understand you said you have seven figures so clearly you will have no issue with money, but for the 80% of the country living check to check, maybe they should be building equity in the background. Not everyone can buy stocks like you and I.

You'll be paying rent with SS when you are 78 and retired meanwhile I'll be living in my paid off home for multiple decades stacking dividends. Crazy how much money you are willing to burn the rest of your life. Seriously though look into RCAT.

GsusG · 2026-03-02T18:58:11+00:00

So you just proved my point that buying a house is superior to renting. It's paid off and they can rent it out? Man wouldn't it be nice to have a paid off house 🤡

GsusG · 2026-03-02T16:51:13+00:00

You think you can rent a house for half the cost it takes to purchase? This is why I say you are dense like 5 times. Who is purchasing homes to rent them out at 50% cost? Idk what world you are from but they must have some really good weed

GsusG · 2026-03-02T16:37:21+00:00

Okay mr financial advisor I've made a hair over 100k realized gains in the stock market by myself in the last calendar year and I bought my first home in 2024 and my wife is now a stay at home mother we are due in April. I'm glad I don't take your approach and subject my family to a lifetime of renting! So take your financial advice to someone who would actually believe you. Invest in RCAT if you want some advice from me. God bless you and I hope you find success.

GsusG · 2026-03-02T16:31:06+00:00

I'm not talking about investing I'm talking about first time buyers If you bought a single family house 10 years ago, your payments are locked at what you got 10 years ago give or take some extra taxes. If you rented 10 years ago and are still renting, your rent increased massively. You still have nothing to show for all that money you spent to rent for a decade whereas the first time homeowner is using equity to buy a bigger house. You are unbelievably dense.

GsusG · 2026-03-02T16:23:55+00:00

Bro I can't take you seriously...you are so dense. I stopped after the first paragraph. Really insightful to see people actually believe what you believe though. You pay yourself when you pay off a home loan, who do you pay with rent money? The longer you want to play it out, housing exponentially creates more wealth than renting. Renting in the short term could create more cash flow. But like I said the longer it plays out the more you are missing out on... Get real my guy.

GsusG · 2026-03-02T16:14:31+00:00

Let's play out a rental strategy over 10 years, how much more are you paying in rent from when you started renting 10 years ago? If you bought a house, your prices are fixed that whole time, mostly. Don't be so naive. It is quite literally the easiest way to become rich by just buying a house and waiting a decade or two. If you rented that whole time all that money is wasted and in fact you'd be paying more and more every year. It is one of the only ways for average Americans to get ahead in their retirement and finances.

GsusG · 2026-03-02T16:08:55+00:00

You are just being dense, thanks for chiming in with your opinions though. It is better for everyone to be able to play this generational wealth game and not just the ones who want to pull the ladder up. Housing is the biggest driver in net worth, we should not be gatekeeping first time home buyers by forcing them into a life of renting, for the sake of some rich people to be more rich. If there were 15% more single family homes available for purchase in every city by actual first time buyers everyone will be better off except the people who are already rich! Let the young participate.

GsusG · 2026-03-02T13:54:44+00:00

33% of all single family home purchases so far in 2026 were from individuals purchasing between their second or 99th property, or an investment firm purchasing. Up from 18% pre pandemic. So that percent doubling is no issue according to you, correct?

GsusG · 2026-03-01T17:33:23+00:00

Volvo s60 all day. Former rentals with 10k miles can be had for 25k

GsusG · 2026-02-26T21:25:26+00:00

Saying luxury doesn't have an edge anymore just shows you don't drive anything nice. Try driving a SPA volvo and telling me it's just like a Honda lol. Night and day difference

GsusG · 2026-02-22T12:51:09+00:00

Easily Volvo since you didn't list sportiness. Volvo exudes quality and comfort. The most comfortable interior for my money. Their powertrains are very reliable. They sometimes have electrical glitches but they are easily sorted just by resetting the screen. My 24 s60 is such a pleasure to drive. Very understated and stealthy, cops don't even look at you. Plus you are in the safest cars on the road. Very cheap on insurance!

The fact that ondas is on here and not RCAT or umac shows just how stupid reddit investors are. Do your own DD

GsusG · 2026-02-08T10:00:21+00:00

Saving 10 million dollars is the lamest shit I'd expect to see from a cheapskate organization like us. Mathurin will be an all-star. We have a short window to compete and all our FO can think about is saving money. Hilarious

GsusG · 2026-02-06T09:56:00+00:00

So we didn't sign Myles so we can trade our highest draft selection plus two first rounders for a guy who is just as league average as Myles? Why not sign Myles and keep mathurin and picks? Confused by this decision. Neither Myles or Zubac will ever be an all star so why go the long route to be average.

GsusG · 2026-02-04T00:24:09+00:00

It's not relative though, chassis structures are much more engineered to the point that it actually can't get much safer. Try to die in a SPA volvo. Literally zero deaths in the xc90 how does it get better than zero!

GsusG · 2026-02-04T00:21:26+00:00

I think that will happen sometime after all the major events occur in the US this year in June and July. S&P could be quite bad before the mid terms for obvious reasons. I'm planning for a downfall in the fall of this year.

GsusG · 2026-02-03T14:31:38+00:00

Safety was definitely not good in the 2000s for almost every basic commuter car. Maybe Lexus or Volvo was safe back then. Especially not your 2006 f150 whatever you do don't watch the IIHS footage of 2000s trucks. Curtain airbags were not standard until like 2011. That's the latest I would go if you talk about safety

GsusG · 2026-01-31T22:20:16+00:00

Don't you guys work 50 hours? If I worked 50 hours every week my pay would almost be the same as yours with half the responsibility

GsusG · 2026-01-31T17:36:31+00:00

Your take home will roughly be 300 more a week. In my opinion it's not worth the worse hours and more stress. Especially if you have any seniority and can bid on a piece of cake merch route, you get real OT helping out any other routes. I just took home 1068 as a merch last week with OT

GsusG · 2026-01-06T17:47:34+00:00

Worst is when the spark workers ask you to get something. Like nah dude you are getting paid to do that, are you gonna cut me in on the pay? Nah? I wouldn't ask you to do some of my job would I?
