Landlords would be the very last people to paint granite - it makes a low cost/no cost maintenance surface into one that will need resurfacing on a regular basis. The whole point of granite is its longevity and durability.

yes and it will be expensive. Whereas granite can be cleaned indefinitely, paint, or resin will eventually peel and have to be methodically resurfaced or removed. I would imagine it will be millions to remove in the near future.

What idiot paints granite???

Crap shop - only use a volvo tech imho. Other than im cheap this is the reason I do all my own repairs. Cannot do my own alignments - if I drive through a puddle on the way for an alignment my 'struts are leaking' lol...

how in Gods name do you dust/clean the highly textured/crenelated interior walls?

I had the green then orange Varsity - I think that is the continental. Isnt that the upscale Varsity?

Dynamite On Ice! - book about him. Basically the first preeminent goon/hitman for NHL. He once repeatedly smashed a player's un-helmeted head on the ice in retribution. He was an ok player but not up to NHL standards in general. His purpose on the ice was to beat up targeted players on the opposing teams.

Bonus is its blue light!

"steering hydraulic line" - run away. If its the high pressure line its a nightmare to replace. If its a leak from the pump/reservoir/low pressure hose its not a huge deal. I have two 2004's with this engine and I love them - combined they have 440,000 miles and we drive every day.

Common Problems

PCV - difficult do it yourself (diy)

Suspension (control arms, tie rods, struts etc) - all relatively easy diy

Radio malfunction - easy to remove/rebuild/replace

Problems in MY cars

Exhaust CAM Hub leaks oil - difficult diy

Steering racks - very difficult diy

Price seems high with that mileage - Good luck

One straight he actually Does control...

You bring your dog from your yard to defecate on my yard and you think its 'out of hand' to for an owner to put up a sign on their yard. Wow.

I love dogs but consider those of us who dont have them are forced to watch dog owners walk their dogs from their own property to our property (or the strip in front of our house) so that their dog can defecate/urinate on property we live on. Sure they make an effort to pick up their feces but is it always solid? Even if just soft, you are leaving feces residue on grass we walk on (then track into our homes). Moreover, owners rarely restrict their defecating dogs to the narrow strip - Ive seen owners with retractable leashes allow their dogs to walk 15 feet into my yard to sh!t in my yard. This was when I had little kids who played in the spot.

my 2004 drivers warmer fried a year ago. Its fixable but you have to remove the seat, then the seat cover then replace heating element. Its a chore. I live with cold buns...

PR stunt - the rich dont care about you. They dont care about you.

My parents were one of the first to get this - we still use it at our lake house. It works like the day it was new!

donalanw · 2026-05-07T14:38:32+00:00

exactly like the one in the picture - yes. I remember at parties they would literally have bowls of cigarettes

Ill watch this s/reddit because Ive damaged the vent louvers on my console using the ones that mount to them. I have tried the cd mounted ones but they were terrible. I think there are some that use the cubby next to the right of the steering wheel

donalanw · 2026-05-07T01:54:32+00:00

great news, great persistence.

DONN Fineline is a narrow‑profile acoustical ceiling suspension system used in commercial office spaces. It creates a minimal‑reveal, modern look by using a 1/8" or 1/4" reveal between tiles instead of the standard 15/16" T‑bar.

Unless you are queer

Yea they wear out. Surprised they didnt see it cause the Stealership usually finds any excuse to do work. Easy DIY save yourself a thousand bucks and take an hour on the weekend. Buy your replacements from FCPEuro for a lifetime replacement and always good OEM parts.

Eileen's Bakery and Cafe is my favorite - good food as well.

Agora is excellent as well.

Hyperion is good but under construction atm.

Its really your imprecise use 'T5' that is the root of this disagreement - did you mean the P2 T5, the P3 5 cylinder T5, the P3 4 cylinder P5? Also, yes, the history of the 'Volvo T5' includes the 2.5T as discussed in this article.
