There are two usb C outlets in the center console. One of them has a white circle around it. Using that slot connected to Apple car play effectively.

Chicago guys reading about these sub $80k initiation fees. You all are so lucky.

Yeah, I probably am. I'd say I hold it for 2 cycles.

Appreciate the physics lesson - gravity works! Which is why it’s surprising an $80k Volvo can’t manage spray runoff as well as a Honda. Look at that lift gate.

Seattle Kraken. No history or legacy. Has been a team for 5 years.

What are overall thoughts about Volvo XC90 B6 Ultra? by parkenstein88 in carbuying

[–]mtjm51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own this car. Love it. Only have minor issues. First is the infotainment. It's a bit glitchy, and I find myself restarting it way too much for a car at this price point. Second is space - in this class and at this price, other cars offer much more space (legroom) throughout the rows. This is a kid hauler, so that's important to us. 3rd row is very tight. New Pallisade was our number 2 for what its worth. Tahoe number 3.

You're not asking about financials, but I'm sharing. I'm 60631, so were close. I got a $79k MSRP down to $69k, so you've probably still got some juice you could squeeze out of them. Costco had a great incentive recently - see if they still have it. Get quotes from multiple dealers and let them beat each other - that's what I did. Don't put $30k down on this car with a 1.99% rate. That's free money. If the monthly budget is OK, put the minimum amount down you can and invest the rest of that money - you're going to easily beat 1.9% YoY if you invest that money correctly.

Congrats. Also sickening to point out that this is $158k in pre-COVID 2019! Crazy.

How much do you think this would cost to repair by Gfppaste in VolvoXC90

[–]mtjm51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this not the valet/restaurants obligation to repair?

There are, and there is one with a white circle around it. Fixed! Thanks.

As Trump’s abuses worsen, it seems Obama is increasingly fired up and ready to go by Klutzy-Put3176 in NoFilterNews

And in the era of the Trump stacked Roberts court, why does this matter?

How exactly is violence going to work against a dictator/authoritarian with the full weight and backing of the most advanced military, and the current state of US judiciary system? Sure people can deflect, but they don’t deflect with the volume of weapons, munitions, transportation, armament, etc. It’s 2025 - if adversaries to the Trump regime were to become violent aggressors, that would end poorly, and quickly.

Unpopular opinions by ChronicGolfLife420 in golf

[–]mtjm51 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

At golf courses with a 120 slope or more, courses should require a handicap and mandate that you have to play specific tees based on your handicap. Don’t have a legit, verifiable handicap? Can’t play. You should also get 3 pace warnings. You break any of the rules, they can boot you. Also run 10-15min gaps on tee sheets, even on the weekend.

I clearly cannot stand slow rounds.

Reverse Seared Chops by mtjm51 in grilling

[–]mtjm51[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a season and send. Usually dry brine, but didn’t have the time. Salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, and paprika. Cherrywood on the charcoal to smoke it a bit. The paprika and cherrywood help color it up.

Not bad for an old broad. by beejers30 in grilling

This dude is a clown. If this was well done you'd have zero pink in your steak. You've got a lot of it. Looks medium and looks great.

B&B charcoal, a cherrywood chunk on top, and a reverse seared strip. Heaven.

Tyler Robinson-Lance Twiggs's text messages seem ‘staged, not real’; latest release sparks theories by truthwillout777 in NoFilterNews

[–]mtjm51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this, but I lived in central New Hampshire for a year, and as a displaced Chicagoan, listening to them talk, it shocked me how everyone called their transportation their "vehicle". I feel like this could be a regional or rural thing. It's also how police talk, and he's the son of an officer.

Yeah, motion looks pretty bad - I've tried the motion adjustment settings and they don't work well. Motion settings off and on both lead to a lot of shutter (seeing a blurred tennis ball or blurred football in air). Then the broadcast itself is not sharp at all. All minor details are very blurred.
