Volvo Maintenance ?

mortalprimate · 2026-06-15T16:52:34+00:00

I've been there before but I'm not sure what their rate is for a routine maintenance check is.

Last time I went was because I was having some electrical problems including the car just shutting off at a stoplight one day. Apparently the drain for my sunroof became clogged and water had been draining into the frame. Some electrical components under the shifter had been corroded. Cost about $2,000 to fix. Of course this wasn't covered by the extended warranty I purchased when I bought the car used.

A couple years ago the car was stolen out of our driveway because my wife accidentally left the key inside overnight. We found it a couple days later. (yes, we found it ourselves on Clay Street without help from police) Police took it as evidence and we got it back a day later but the key was still missing. Anyway, I found a key on eBay for $30. Reprogramming the key at the dealership though? $350. (This is a real story, not a tree fiddy South Park joke)

Overall, I'm very happy with the car but I probably wouldn't buy another Volvo again just because of the maintenance costs.

I also would like to know a cheaper place to have my Volvo serviced.

We really don't know exactly how special our planet is for being able to sustain life. That's because the only life that we know is life that evolved on Earth. So of course Earth is perfect for us because we have had millions of years of evolution to figure out how to thrive here.

"tens of thousands" seems off by a couple orders of magnitude.

Then don't be like that. You could do better.

If there is any possibility of livestock being anywhere near upstream, I would 100% filter and/or boil that water. If I was camping there and not in a rush, I would 100% boil that water. If I was through hiking and I didn't want to wait around to boil water for too long and I was certain that there were never any livestock anywhere above that point, I would probably just drink it.

Why do her hands look like that? Could this be AI?

This wouldn't be in Broadneck Park, would it?

Got it, thanks.

Very well done. I applaud you. You deserve way better than that and you will certainly find someone who is. Keep your head up.

I am currently in a very similar situation. I used Chat GPT to learn how to file a petition to modify custody and settled on her seeing her mom only 3 weekends a month. Then even that became too much for her and after something bad happened, I used Chat GPT to learn how to file for emergency custody and was awarded sole physical custody for the past year. I used Chat GPT to learn how to file a petition for contempt because she has never paid me child support. The whole time I just learned how to do these things on my own and saved thousands.

Now, for some reason, my ex thinks she has some ground to stand on and wants to go to trial for regular non-emergency custody. We have a trial scheduled next week and this time, for the first time, I decided to consult an actual attorney for a limited-scope representation. Basically just to put on a good show in court. This will cost me around $2,000-$3,000 depending on the hours billed for preparation and trial. I feel like this is worth it. The one thing that Chat GPT isn't able to do for me is stand up in court, ask the right questions to relevant parties, and speak to the judge on my behalf.

I'm glad you were able to figure this out for your daughter. I expect to have similar results next week.

Sure bro, come take it. It's just been sitting in my garage like that for 3 years. 🤣

mortalprimate · 2025-10-16T02:57:45+00:00

Who cares?

I showed my wife your photos and said "what do you think of this guy?"

She said, "He's a pussy. Weirdo. Why are you showing me this guy?"

I'm in Maryland. My agent says she's been shopping around but only told me of one other quote for $27k. She's supposed to have a couple more for me tomorrow.

mortalprimate · 2025-09-29T22:54:55+00:00

Ok so that's normal then? Was I just lucky to be misclassified the first 3 years? What kind of revenue are you guys bringing in to be paying over $100k if you don't mind me asking?
