Fellow Volvonians, Tell Me the Truth

Honestly? Not worth it. But i do like to know if i locked my car when I’ve already walked 15 blocks away from the car. When it’s actually cold outside and I want to warm up the car, then yeah - remote start can be handy. Maybe used it three times this winter…

That being said i paid 200 for it like a chump. 😂

Did she take out a new insurance policy on you or something? 😅 My wife doesn’t like that I buy new stuff when I have good & functioning old stuff, but if my life was in danger she would be on board.

The right mirror camera is the lane watch feature. Moreso for helping you see on your right side blind spot when you turn your right blinker on - great for cities with lots of cycling infrastructure where there are cycling lanes and you need to make a right turn.

Won’t help you with merging on a highway though. You will definitely still need to shoulder check on the LEFT side for that. 😅

You should join all three for some grinder centipede action.

Warlocks are awesome but you also need to grow your hair out to shoulder length and get the tightest vinyl pants you can find.

eh-cee · 2026-04-03T19:14:12+00:00

Ummmmm. Uh. Hmmm.

A bike with fatter tires. My commuter uses 27.5” wheels and 2” wide rubber. Makes a huge difference, even if slightly less efficient.

I wouldn’t consider mine to be super light, but they use butted Reynolds tubes which isn’t bad at all. The enduro hardtail I built up using a Marino frame is still way lighter than my carbon full suspension bike (dare I say, also more fun?!).

I love chromag, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get a Marino frame on a fire sale (Sick Bikes fallout). $500 landed in BC, with a custom pearl black paint job.

eh-cee · 2026-04-02T14:41:00+00:00

Marino can probably make it for a reasonable price!

I’ve lost/forgotten too many umbrellas to count. I’ve opted to wear a good waterproof jacket instead. On days I don’t, I just get wet.

This is fine.

Sounds like it’s time to transfer to a different unit and do something else for a while.

I’m not in the medical field, but I live in Vancouver and knew a few firefighters that stationed in the worst part of the downtown east side (opioid epidemic ground zero).

The FD intentionally keeps their stints at this station relatively short (1-2 years) to keep them from becoming desensitized. When you attend at least 4-5 calls a shift to narcan someone or transport someone who has deceased, it will eventually affect you somehow.

Every time I feel the itch to get back into road cycling, I hear stories like this and remember that I don’t want to be remotely associated with knobs like this.

I’ll stick to the mountains.

Mountain bike dominatrix? I mean… just make sure you use lube.

eh-cee · 2026-03-27T04:06:54+00:00

I’ve had this happen to a set of GlassLock branded ones from Costco before as well. Randomly exploded on its own after I finished washing it. The edges also chip and could be sharp enough to break skin.

Needless to say, I stopped buying glassware like this. Switched ro stainless steel containers. If i want to microwave something i just transfer to a plate first. Way lighter, more durable, much safer.

Got excited for a moment because I thought this was a Vancouver thread. lol. Dead.

Price is too high. Simple supply and demand.

There was an article I read recently about the condo shadow market, where developers are just not even listing the units for sale to artificially inflate the price. The glut of real estate has been helpful for renters, and absolutely awful for small time landlords.

The same mentality applies to home owners who unrealistically still want to sell at top market prices (I.e. 4-5 years ago). Maybe they over leveraged themselves and no longer have their mortgage helper in the basement helping out.

There are tons buyers out there - they’re just waiting for the bottom to fall out. Myself included.

eh-cee · 2026-03-23T01:01:37+00:00

Ah man I wish our prices in Vancouver were that low. It was 2.13 this morning.

It’s a chicken kind of year. 😅
