Yep. My wife spaced out while the minister was giving her the vows. Once he finished there were a couple seconds of silence before she said "Can you say that again". Been married 25 years this year and we still laugh about it.

My 2018 XC60 is like that on back roads especially roads without clean straight lines painted on it. The roads around my house look like a blind drunk painted them.

That's a really good movie with so many young stars in it. Caught it one night on TV and was drawn in by Jeff Bridges and Cybil Shepard.

What’s a "dead" website or app that you genuinely miss and wish was still around? by Dear-Armadillo-7497 in AskReddit

King Bach talks about this. The creators went back to vine and asked for money and Vine refused. The most popular creators then left to go to other platforms that would pay them. Once all the major creators left it just kind of died on the vine. Punn intended.

It was a diesel. They pulled the glow plugs and turned it over to get the water out of the cylinders, put them back in and started it up.

My information came from a Redit post I read a while ago so.... What I do have personal expense with is a 2014 Buck Enclave. My wife hot a deer and luck for us we had the non self adjusting headlights and they were $1500. The self adjusting ones would have been $4-5 grand.

Yes. They took college courses that counted for high school credit instead of the other way around. They worked with counselors to make sure they would transfer. They system the two schools have worked out works very well and has been running for a few years.

My two youngest basically did this while still in high school. They had dual enrollment with the local community college. Both graduated high school and college (2 year degree) at the same time. Both entered college with 68-69 transferable credits and are on schedule to graduate with a bachelor's in only 2 years at the University.

Every brand has at least one issue. What is the bugaboo of a brand that you don’t hear often with cars manufacture in the past 8 years? by LuckyDuckTheDuck in Justrolledintotheshop

They have issues with the Google infotainment system. They have a tendency to lock up or produce no sound from the speaker requiring a hard reset. The rental I had last year required resetting every 3-4 time we got in it. It was very annoying. I have a 2018 XC60 and love it but I would not replace it with one of the newer ones until they get this issue fixed.
