Back on the butt crack of dawn shift. Moving a bit slow this fine morning, lots of tired muscles from having to much fun the last two days... Fat bus here I come.
Wanted a wagon, this was too clean to pass up. Wife is happy with an SUV.
Is it a T6 with Geartronic transmission?All maintenance done including the timing belt done early, recent full brake job and tires. 100K on it and it looks almost brand new.
No - I'm just saying... that IS a wagon.No . I looked for a wagon for a while and couldn't find anything reasonable. This came up from original owners in Newport Coast. All maintenance done including the timing belt done early, recent full brake job and tires. 100K on it and it looks almost brand new. Hard to pass up a creampuff that still fits the bill. I still might actually buy a wagon to drive to work instead of my Tundra all the time. Then I can buy a manual too...
when wagon's got fvcking huge.No - I'm just saying... that IS a wagon.
When did wagons get classified as SUVs?
F**king world is going cracker-dog.
Negative, the 2.5T. Not a powerhouse, but it's ok. It's faster than my wife's CT200h (Prius), but that's not saying much.Is it a T6 with Geartronic transmission?
Holy $hit... GOLD:the proof is in the puddin'

Good for you. The T6/Geartronic drivetrain is a match from hell. The 2.5T is a much better option.Negative, the 2.5T. Not a powerhouse, but it's ok. It's faster than my wife's CT200h (Prius), but that's not saying much.
I freaking love Jalopnik. DeMuro pretty much always seems to catch a shit storm over most of his posts, but he always makes me laugh. Most of the guys on there are pretty good. Way better than reading crap like Car and Driver.Holy $hit... GOLD:
"from Subaru, noted manufacturer of replacement head gaskets and, occasionally, automobiles."
I've heard the T6 had more issues. This is my first Volvo, but they seem to get good reviews. I have to say I'm pretty impressed with how well it drives for being 11 years old. Nicer than quite a few newer cars I've driven. Very quiet, smooth and tight.Good for you. The T6/Geartronic drivetrain is a match from hell. The 2.5T is a much better option.
Are you going to take your kids to Disney World?
Try this just for entertainment - go to Epcot and proceed to get SHITFACED and then stagger around making a general a$$ of yourself. I think you might have a good time. I mean... as good of a time as you might be able to have in Florida.Nope.
However I do encourage all old people, fatties, golfers and people with annoying children to go to florida, and stay there, forever. This place is a perfect location for Americas puss to drain.
drown, not drainNope.

As a daily reader of Jalopnik, I can vouch for what Kazlx is saying about DeMuro. There is so much gold in his posts, especially his CarMax and Ferrari related posts. His YouTube channel has some good videos, as well.I freaking love Jalopnik. DeMuro pretty much always seems to catch a shit storm over most of his posts, but he always makes me laugh.

His CarMax Range Rover stories were also pretty epic.As a daily reader of Jalopnik, I can vouch for what Kazlx is saying about DeMuro. There is so much gold in his posts, especially his CarMax and Ferrari related posts. His YouTube channel has some good videos, as well.
I feel completely out of it today. I drank way too much beer over the weekend.
Went to a Jays game on Saturday. Did anyone notice how nice the weather was? Not a cloud in the sky here. Apparently the Jays didn't get the memo and kept the stadium roof closed. Lame.
@DougDeMuro is the author of Plays With Cars. He owned an E63 AMG wagon and once tried to evade police at the Tail of the Dragon using a pontoon boat. (It didn't work.) He worked as a manager for Porsche Cars North America before quitting to become a writer, largely because it meant he no longer had to wear pants. Also, he wrote this entire bio himself in the third person.
can't wait for part IISun came out, so I decided to go for a road ride. I almost died.
Dear commercial dump truck driver,
Thank you for giving me less than a foot of room while you passed me on my bicycle this morning. The air horn you used while passing was a nice touch. I especially appreciated how you stopped at the intersection and rolled down your window to tell me what a "fucking idiot" I am and how I "don't belong on the road." Being able to give your individual truck number, prominently displayed right above the name of your employer, to both your supervisor and the duty Sergeant at the Stetson Hills Police sub-station really was the highlight of my morning. I hope you get fired today, you fucking douchebag.
Sincerely,
Shane
no one crashed through a mellon stand, then hit a fire hydrant only after crashing through a piece plate glass being carried across the street by two workmen?much win in the med center parking lot.. just watched granny back out of a handcapped parking space a tag a light pole. a blond back her bmw into a passing box truck, and a paratransit driver pushing a wheel chair trying to get it through a door cluless that the chrome pad with a wheel chair logo two feet from him is an automatic door opener ( yes I was an ass and just sat back and watched trying not to laugh).
Conference for work. I am pretty much a captive until my ride back to the airport shows up Thursday morning. My day is scheduled from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. 99% of the other attendees are fat grey haired dudes.Florida has some good spots if you look. I am sure there are some good food to be found even in Orlando and some women you can pump drink into @Westy.
It is a natural lubricant.I bet it does with the girls Westy dates.
