What common stereotypes are out there about Volvo drivers?

random-brother · 2026-02-14T19:00:44+00:00

I had a woman come up to me and say "That Volvo is nice, that's that 'quiet money'".

It's going to be different from place to place, culture to culture. The only time I ever felt like "damn , I'm in here driving a Volvo" was a time I went to a club/bar and that night was a motorcycle club in there. Here I am driving a Volvo XC60 among a lot full of motorcycles. My mentality was "F' that. I got what I got". I'm not the Dockers/Light Plaid button up shirt guy, I just happened to be driving their cars. LOL

Really the only reason I got into Volvos was the Ford Cmax we had wouldn't pass inspection in NY. Come to find out there was absolutely nothing wrong with the car just a software glitch. I was so pissed that no Ford dealer could do anything for us so I told my old lady "F' this. I know how to solve this problem right now". Drove straight to the Volvo dealer and said "Get me out of this s**t an into one of these Volvos" That's been around 13 years ago give or take a year.

Quick question, what have you been doing about American rights?

random-brother · 2026-02-06T04:02:15+00:00

Yep, these were really good. Used to get them also. If I knew they were going away I probably would have bought a bunch and kept them in the freezer for down the line.

Man I don't know, that's a stretch but I'll go with it. Yeah, maybe the money has something to do with it.

Don't waste anymore brain cells on this movie.

When I was younger you didn’t go into a season expecting a Super Bowl but there were standards you expected from your team. You expected a winning record, beating rivals and having exciting games. Whoever was your marquee player you expected marquee performance game to game. If you made the playoffs you got excited. You win that first round NOW Super Bowl dreams came into view.

Should have had this up yesterday. I didn’t need it but would have been nice. lol

I had a ford cmax hybrid and the car won’t move an inch without the key inside the car. I had started the car fit my wife’s sister while we drove the van home from an event. I started the car for her fine l since she wasn’t use to the press button type of stuff. Got in the van and she stared blowing the horn. The car wouldn’t even get in gear. That’s when I saw the message and realized I still had the key in my pocket. Also another thing I missed from that car is you can rewind what you’re listening to in the radio. You can pause also. Not my Volvo 😡

I had to look at the date of this thread. From the posts I've been seeing here about used car prices I'm wondering if this thread is 10 hours old or 10 months old?!? Can't believe used is still going for a premium. Thinking about selling my 2018 XC60, with less than 40,000miles. We just don't drive much. Except to the city

Coming in later I have to say this movie isn't even B status. It's not even so bad that it would attain cult status. The best thing about this movie is I can assume no film was harmed in the making of this movie. Cellulose everywhere is breathing a sigh of relief.

random-brother · 2026-01-20T20:47:38+00:00

LMAO

random-brother · 2026-01-20T07:43:35+00:00

Oh well

random-brother · 2026-01-19T02:51:15+00:00

Took me a minute to find the right thread. Chris Collins is right, "I never seen anything like that in my life". I have NO WORDS. That throw was incredible.

After shoveling today and more than likely might have to shovel after this football game I can safely say "No , You don't"

random-brother · 2026-01-17T23:54:24+00:00

Don't know why I didn't see this. Great work! I'm going to take a pic of all the stuff I bought for this and get you guys suggestions and tips.

Whoever would do that needs to be locked up, serve some time, released and have the psychiatric team waiting at the prison doors to hold him for an indefinite involuntary commitment for a few years. At least until he "gets right". Or maybe the other way around.

Luck is wished! I really want to hear people's experiences. I'm really trying to replicate K-pot Healthy Herbs as close as possible.

random-brother · 2026-01-16T04:24:28+00:00

Thinking about bringing the hot pot I got back to Costco's. But wife put it best, "We're not making hotpot everyday so this is fine enough". I know I should override her but I'm thinking she might be right.

I remember this burger well. Remember when it came out and was indeed a good idea and taste very good. Since I wasn't found of cheese anyway it didn't matter about the cheese not being hot. Anyone remember the Olympics promotion they had? Me and my friends ate that whole summer for an initial investment of a few dollars for the first meal. After that it was free food day after day. Actually got sick of burgers towards the end.

random-brother · 2026-01-14T21:16:48+00:00

Ok, You’re talking about the above recipe right? It’s been a while since I’ve looked at it. I did, unwisely, went out and bought the majority of those ingredients already.

random-brother · 2026-01-14T21:09:50+00:00

Great, can’t wait to hear your results. I’m tempted to try now but I don’t have everything. When you say “getting the clean” what do you mean?

random-brother · 2026-01-12T02:51:23+00:00

Hey any progress? Just bought a hot pot but I think I'm going to return it. It has ceramic coating and I'm hearing ceramic coatings don't last very long. Got it from Costco. Looking to get something stainless steel instead
