My wife's Volvo has a 2 liter with a supercharger and a turbocharger. If it needs engine work I'm trading it in. So far its been an awesome vehicle. <knock on wood>
What have you done to your ride lately?

Yeah I'm not working on mine either. But so far it's been an ok car and Volvo has taken care of us with the issues we've had with it so far.

Take them off pavement yet? I'm looking at the same tire, different size. Heard they are a good offroad tire.

I didn't get the Yokohamas.. Discount fucked up and didn't order enough. Ended up with Toyo Open Country MT's. Not been off-road yet.. I tore the back of the Taco apart to do a bunch of shit.

Guess I should have kept reading, I just did a search. Heard those Toyos (any Toyo) are heavy.

They were not near as loud as I thought they would be. I would run them again.

Got my Volvo S60 back today with a rebuilt engine. It sucks because I wanted to drive their rental for a month
it’s been a while since I’ve beat on a rental, might just go out and get one as a stress reliever this weekend and take it to the track
Just make sure you get that $15 insurance.
Coming home from the airport the other night was a little uneasy. The rear axle seemed loose when I made turns when I was going over 65 mph. Since it was 10pm I slowed down to a controlled speed (which sucked) and made it home. The next day I checked out the rear axle to find the upper control arms in bad shape. Passenger side was missing the nut and the driver side had fallen out of position completely. I put in some correct size bolts to keep everything in place while I wait for the OEM bolts to arrive. Good thing I do not drive it much anymore.
That sucks. Time to loctite those suckers in.
I was burning through gas on a 4 cylinder turbo at an alarming rate... ~6 gallons in a day and a halfit’s been a while since I’ve beat on a rental, might just go out and get one as a stress reliever this weekend and take it to the track

Looks like a good excuse to built some upper links! I'm just here to help. 
That is the concerning part; they were.

Made an appointment to drop off the 250. Went down the toll road today at about 80, in left hand lane. Death Wobble kicked in HARD. Fucking new lane is absolute shit.. but still. Had to pull over and slow down to about 30 before it calmed its tits. Coming back the other way it did the same fucking thing. So I called and got an appointment for tomorrow morning.

Also ordered a Fox 2.0 steering stabilizer for it. Replaces the OEM one. Figure even if the dealer replace the OEM stabilizer, I'm putting it on. Didn't bother with the dual ones, don't need that.
