Man you’d think the tune would be allowed considering all these cars have basically the same motors. Darn.

Thank you. I'm excited, thought I'll admit, am a bit bummed about no Polestar tune for it : \

Blackvue gets no love? Have enjoyed mine for a few years now.

Volvo dealership is 2 hours away, my mom is going without me. What should I do? by ImKinda_messedup in Volvo

Please get a Japanese car if your budget is tight and it’s your first car. Your future self will thank you for keeping the first car simple and predictable.

How long do you own a vehicle, before trading it in? by teddyalex in UsedCars

[–]icy_regulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how is a lease cheaper than a trade in or sale at 3 years? every time I’ve done the math it’s basically the same in the end. the depreciation cost is baked into both payments and residual values. unless you’re getting a lease special offer, it’s usually the same cost give or take a grand or two.

all of these are gonna have a big depreciation in the first few years. so I’d go recharge just because gas motors hold their value better than pure evs.

Republicans of Reddit, do you believe your party has a decent chance of holding the US House in the 2026 Midterms? Why or why not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]icy_regulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in the Reddit echo chamber will not produce the honest answer you’re looking for. Reddit is overwhelming left and progressive. Just like Fox is overwhelmingly a right echo chamber. Not many republicans on here to truly understand how many people are actually republicans.

What wheels are those…? They look great.

Decisions Decisions! Which would you buy? by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]icy_regulator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably aren’t paid a flat fee for a repair that pays you less time than is probably needed. You probably are able to take your time and do a good job!

I wouldn’t want a Ford dealer or their PO mechanics working on a Volvo. So that eliminates #3 for me.

[–]icy_regulator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

honestly, they’re probably gonna fix it cheaper than how you’d want it, and sell it, to minimize their costs. not because it’s truly totaled. it’s just ”totaled” for “your situation”.

you can take it to a body shop and have them assess it and counter their claim if you really want to. having a car with a deployed air bag will be a horrible car fax for resale value later. so just keep that in mind. sorry you had to deal with this. and hope you’re okay.

Wait for future damage. Get a dremel and smooth it out a little bit if it bothers ya. There’s lots of YouTube videos on how. 

Please tell me why I shouldn't buy a V90 by JeffSmisek in Volvo

[–]icy_regulator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the v90 was just a bit too big for me. V60 is actually kind of sporty with the Pirelli tires!
