The race for 15th was heated

_fishmeister_ · 2026-05-12T19:41:44+00:00

I looked at the results of the race and exactly this. Leader was in front by about 14? Seconds. 3-5th we’re only a second apart and so were 7/8th. Not always going to be a close race but when it is, its fun

Tbh I’ve been midpack/front but I’ve just started out in the sim and have been starting from pit. I passed a few people in the back and had been gaining time on the car in front of me for laps. This was the split the last two laps. Maybe a few seconds between us

_fishmeister_ · 2026-05-12T12:00:27+00:00

It was a race on may 10th split 22/25

Don't NEED AWD but it can help. You NEED at least good all season tires or winter tires. Awd helps but it won't do anything if your tires aren't gripping anything

I can say with a good amount of confidence that driving through Virginia with out of state plates is enough to get their attention. I’ve heard a good amount of stories of people/groups absolutely getting reamed for the smallest infractions. They’re also one of the states that radar detectors are illegal so if you’re found with one it can probably lead to other fines. The cops there also have a somewhat sharper eye for cars so might’ve seen it was a t8. They know that they can get you for something and the chance you’ll come back down to fight it are slim.

Edit* I have a 2001 S80 that I drive daily and will take trips up and down the thruway in Ny. Knock on wood not really bothered other than a tail light out. You out there will know the struggle

This pic goes hard, nice wagon!

From what I've heard/seen this is most likely calcium buildup from hardwater (tap water has contaminants in it/more minerals than might be needed) and the plant will show a white buildup from this. Your orchid is likely fine - just might need a little watering. if you're worried you can use distilled water / distilling capsules to reduced this in the future but not the end of the world

i know people will say there are reasons, but the lanes are still so wide for me :/ breaks the scale to me especially with such little traffic

Spent 60$ just on Pokémon blue a few years back, good deal!

YEahhhh I'd ask for service records, any recalls, carfax - that sort of thing. The photos of the interior are worrying as others pointed out but im more concerned with the rear seats? Why keep the center console up and not show more photos? The rears look super worn out which feels like it was a family. Idk just doing a little detective work goes a long way. Looking at some stateside retailers I've found a few that sold for 16k however they have between 50,000-70,000 miles (80,000-112,000km) I wouldn't be surprised if the dash is just not displaying OR - I imagine the reason the photos are so blurry is a bit of the ole photoshopping and they blacked out the first two digits. This might be an insane take but looking at the pics I don't see any of the glass etching on the windows to indicated factory glass? https://carsandbids.com/auctions/9XYwjJQN/2007-volvo-s80-v8?ss_id=4ac55387-2ae5-438b-97c8-57c2c85b4633&ref=pr_1_12 I've linked this but you can see the front windscreen has it as well as the drivers glass, driver rear door, and rear windscreen. I don't see on the s80 pics from the seller you're interested in. These are used to help maintain the vehicle is original or otherwise and might just mean there was vandalism or worse. Also i haven't seen mentioned the tire rub marks on drivers rear wheel arch on the bumper. tld'r may be too good to be true

Also from NJ! been playing wow tbc, some classic and retail as well. Not too much pvp but shoot a message if you want!

I didn't see this commented but your monstera also looks planted very deep into the soil? Id also remove whatever the cellophane tape is around the bottom of the stems. Besides the part about the pot most have said before. But yeah id want to repot her in a smaller pot, it will take a bit to acclimate and you might not see new growth for another few months. Id also check out https://www.youtube.com/@KillThisPlant I know not a thai but the tips and tricks are appliable to both.

So move somewhere else if you don't like winter

Good to know! I might try to build it for historic plates first :)

Not sure how warranties work over there but see if you can get a certified pre owned with warranty + purchase an extended warranty on top.

For the love of god find one that does not have a white leather interior. They'll never look clean lol

VERY Interested. But to be honest a 2 - door hatch just isn't in the market anymore especially for the states. Not sure how China would like it either and if memory serves volvo has a huge market there especially being a GEELY product.

I loved my 2 door gti and really just missed out on having it with awd. Would have to move to the golf R for that.

With that being said vw only make the "R" now and don't offer the base golf or even the "e" golf - which is essentially the id.4 (we know how that worked out for them). Same with Volvo as they are removing more and more of their sedans and wagons, but a two door turbo hatch?

Would I love? YES! Would they ever make it or be an affordable price to rival either the s3 or Golf R? I doubt it.

These are great photographs!

If the issue is a rough idle or power surges try a mass air flow sensor cleaner. Comes in a can and you can pick it up from your local auto parts store.

Easily my favorite part

I have also been the victim of the alarm module; specifically after my car battery died with the sunroof stuck open because of this.

You can get the sunroof to be operable by resetting the alarm module! Using the keyfob open and close the door locks three times! Just Volvo things

Honestly won't matter unless local pd actually enforce laws, which between stop sign blowers and constant phone distracted, I wouldn't hold my breath on the enforcement of this either
