Building and driving a manual AWD station wagon tastefully lowered on coilovers with Pegs was a dream of mine. I accomplished that a little over a year ago, and it has been fun for what I set it up for: handling with the best on twisty mountain roads, long road trips on nice asphalt, and…

I have one month left on my second XC90 lease, and I am honestly counting the days until it is over. Admittedly, part of that is excitement for my new car which is scheduled to be built early next month, but mostly I am ready to move on. I am on multiple other vehicle forums,…

For the past couple of months I’ve been trying to chase a fuel system issue where I’m getting air in the fuel system that makes it’s way to the fuel rail. I purge it every so often…
Is the 2025 Volvo XC90 the Perfect Blend of Power and Perks? Ah, the suburban life in Ramsey, NJ—a blend of charm, community, and the occasional traffic jam. Between carpooling to Wyckoff, weekend Costco runs, and braving Route 17 during rush hour, your car isn’t just a mode of transportation; it’s your lifeline. And when…

Hello All! It is a heavy heart to say goodbye to my Volvo C30. As my family grows, the Volvo C30 no longer meets the needs of the kids. I wish I had room to keep this forever. I’ll post pictures later but here is a quick description of this precious baby. I purchased this…

We live in probably an ideal climate for “all climate” or year-round, 3-peak/snowflake tires. The coastal Pacific NW which gives us LOTS of precipitation in all its known forms but generally not colder than mid-20s F. and rarely deep snow (if you stay out of the high mountains). Plus we always have SOME 100 deg….
I did this conversion last weekend and have some notes about the installation and a step-by-step guide. I found a middle seat on FB Marketplace in the right color but the wrong texture since my car has smoother leather but it was close enough. In a quick summary, the process took me about two to…
