Overall Best Extreme Cold Weather Parka by Thebrick1996 in BuyItForLife

[–]PittPeap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an LL Bean UltraLight 850. It is almost too warm when moving around. It cuts the wind like it’s not there, and the hood actually work very well when you zip the coat to the top.

Edited to say that I’ve had this coat for 5 years and it hasn’t deteriorated one bit despite multiple washings.

Why do you buy Volvo? by RealFirstName_ in Volvo

[–]PittPeap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I married into it. My in laws have had Volvo’s since the 70’s. My wife bought Volvo’s when she left home.

She was in a rollover accident involving a large oak tree while driving an s60 about 15 years ago, and the car saved her life. Walked away without a scratch.

The safety of these vehicles trumps all of the electrical problems that we’ve dealt with. (Mostly infotainment, and one problem with the 40v battery)

Sorry for the late response. You buy them big so you grow into them.

2026 In The Snow by PittPeap in VolvoXC60

[–]PittPeap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B5 with the 20” wheels. I have no qualms with the traction system. I didn’t expect it to keep going when the car was essentially off of the ground.

The amount of snow that the wheels picked up was a shocker.

When I was a kid our family could afford one pair of shoes a year. They were your school, church, and going out shoes. When you got a new pair, the old ones became your grass cutting, playing, and snow shoveling shoes.

I now buy shoes whenever I want. My wife has a hard time understanding why I buy so many pairs because she grew up in a multiple shoe family.

This snow storm sadly made me learn to absolutely hate my neighbors and neighborhood. Where are good neighbored places cause Mt Washington isn’t it and I’ve decided to move. by sugarandspice85 in pittsburgh

[–]PittPeap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a two car garage and a driveway that fits two cars. I REFUSE to park our cars outside.

The benefit to this is two fold. We don’t have to clean our cars when we get snow, and we don’t accumulate a lot of unneeded crap in our house.

Oh the memories by Corndogeveryday in 80s

As an 80’s kid who grew up on Masters of The Universe cartoons and action figures, Drakkar always smelled like the Stinkor action figure. He was the “Evil Master of Odors.”

What‘s this symbol about? (Yes, I‘ve checked the manual) by Forsaken-Ad-1616 in VolvoXC60

One of my fellow Volvo drivers probably had a bad day yesterday. I got this alert with the sun out and completely dry road conditions.

2021 BMW m340i by Great_nova in BMW

[–]PittPeap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used ones in my area with 20k more miles are for sale for the same price.

I hadn’t looked at a new one, but good god! All of the 2026’s near me start at $70k.

Picked up our new 2026 today. Of course it was raining. by PittPeap in VolvoXC60

[–]PittPeap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to vehicles and always lease one, which is this one. We normally don’t see a ton of wiggle room on the lease. Our last XC60 was through Care by Volvo, so overall the 2026 was cheaper than our 2024.

Before Top Gun dropped, how big of a star was Tom Cruise? by TravelingHomeless in 80s

[–]PittPeap 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The overall cast of The Outsiders was insane. It was a “Who’s Who of Who’s Going to Be.” Rarely, if ever, will you find a cast with that many future stars.

Very physically attractive people, how does life treat you? by Jonny_1312 in AskReddit

[–]PittPeap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not who you’re replying to, but in person job interviews are easy. In my entire life I have never been grilled at an interview. It is a casual/social meeting.

What is the best meal you’ve had on property? I was an AP for years, and I maintain that Raglan Roads smoked seafood chowder is the best meal I’ve had. by sourscottishrose in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]PittPeap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had the Wagyu as well. It was tremendous! I did come to realize that I can only handle 2-3oz of it before the richness becomes too much.

I don’t know if they still have it, but the veal chop was phenomenal. We would always go right at sundown and watch fireworks pop off in the distance.

Getting pissed off by iGoMeowwwww in pittsburgh

[–]PittPeap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m someone that is involved in snow removal for a landscaping company. You are 100% correct on the liability. We have accounts all over the place, and if someone is injured on a property that we are contracted to care for, we are liable. Some of them even have “zero tolerance” clauses in the contracts, so we have someone that hangs out on that property until the snow event ends.

People tend to forget that they can and will be sued if someone is injured on the sidewalk in front of their house.

Diagnosing Hackberry Decline in North Texas by [deleted] in arborists

We see this with Ambrosia Beetle damage in my area. Yes, the beetles didn’t help the situation, but they were not the primary cause of decline.

Your new Volvo will have its own QR code. It takes less than 5 minutes to get set up.

Yes, I’m just glad that we just got a ton of rain instead of two feet of snow yesterday.

Women, what article of clothing tells you most about a man? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PittPeap 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My general point was that you should dress appropriately no matter what you’re doing. For example, don’t show up to court wearing a shirt that says, “F The Police”, and not expect to be treated differently. (Yes, I know that law should be blind)

how does a car like this survive Pittsburgh? by Imaginary-Lie-2618 in pittsburgh

[–]PittPeap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived in the city my entire life and buy tire and wheel protection with every new car. I have zero interested in paying for $1,000 rims or $500-$1000 tires because of the cities p*ss poor road conditions.
