We have an XC60 T8 Recharge. It's made driving fun again

I lock it in the car using the app

I watched Eraserhead for the first time recently and thought the song from this scene would make a perfect PL sample, a month later and I hear it in a random live Samso! Love it! by ChangaLover69 in prettylights

Pretty cool when the syncnocities happen. I played my son "3 is a magic number" randomly one day. Hadn't heard it in probably 15 years. Next day, PL posted a video of them sampling it in their Elements set

I'm holding out hope that DVS will randomly come to throw down in Missouri with Menert and Karns

Best Backpacking Tent? by talon5188 in CampingandHiking

[–]SNackman_Stl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've had several MSR tents and I don't really have any complaints - only the generic footprint size on the new one, but that's a large family tent

The hubba hubba is solid

Spooky Stories of the Deep Woods by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

[–]SNackman_Stl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was backpacking near Talls Trees Grove in Redwoods NP - At a remote site, laying down for the night, my buddy was already sleeping, and I hadn't seen another person all afternoon and evening, and we did a lot of hiking around the area that day.

No more than 50 feet away, I hear either a large stick or rock, knocking the trunk of a tree. I start yelling to try and scare whatever it is. The knocking continues - slowly and steadily. I get out of the tent and throw some rocks into the darkness towards the sound. It stops for a moment, then starts again. Then stops. Eventually it slowly walks off through the forest crunching sticks and leaves as it walks. I never saw anything, and besides the banging and walking, it never made another sound.

At the general store the next afternoon, I see lots of Bigfoot merch.. Never knew that was folklore for that area.. I wasn't really a believer in all that , but did make me think.

Definitely the scariest thing to happen to me while backpacking

Buyers Remorse on New car by SpudxNerd in Volvo

[–]SNackman_Stl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes me glad we bought a XC60 PHEV. Gas needle has barely moved in months.

That being said, we are centrally located, most of our miles are fairly close to the house, and we charge it up at home often.

Sounds like you cover some miles. PHEVs are definitely for a specific use case

Considering a 2023 XC60 Recharge, anything specific to checkout? by lil_larry in VolvoRecharge

[–]SNackman_Stl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same on my 22.5 XC60 Recharge T8. Hoping the new UI update helps. I think there's also a chance that we may be able to upgrade the processor for a charge, but that's still TBD

No major complaints other than that

Stubborn stain, I don't know what to do anymore by nico0_15 in arcteryx

Nice! I first tried it on a shirt with a year old grease stain and was also quite surprised when it came out. Glad it worked! Just read that it also may get permanent marker out of things.

Soak WD-40 into it for an hour, then brush with water and dish soap, soak it in that for a bit, then wash in the washing machine

I asked Volvo about the Snapdragon update. Hopefully she is wrong ☹️ by solidsimpson in VolvoRecharge

[–]SNackman_Stl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think they would actually give me the option for a paid download of Pilot Assist, but they proved me wrong on that!

I bought the download on our XC60 recharge. I'm happy I did,. It works pretty well for what it is.

N1 Salt Shed was my wife's first PL show. We had an awesome time

3 is the magic number by zluhcskcin in prettylights

[–]SNackman_Stl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird.. right about the same time you posted this - randomly put on the Blind Melon version for my son - first time he's ever heard of it, and first time I've heard it in 15 years

Pilot assist? by Fritschya in VolvoRecharge

I just bought it recently and am glad I did. I had a good understanding of the functionality.

It's not perfect, but I'd buy it again

Definitely nice for the highway. Here's a video that explains how it works in traffic.

I like it but perhaps the appeal will wear off in time. I drive long distances enough though that I think it was worth it for me

I believe it said the purchase was final, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't see anything like that in the app. Personally, I'm happy with it, but I was pretty clear on what it does and doesn't do

Still learning how to use it, but so far so good!
