  1. wow fucking scumbags, one more reason why i hate community college and worcester. park for classes less than 2 hours i come out to find this fucking thing across my hood, i know my cars not perfect but seriously what the fucking shit.. E5BU3.jpg

    Can try reseating a few time's but water repairing water damage is often a lost cause. Double check the model on the back that it is A1288. There are a couple generations where the digitizer is very similar but will not work, which given ebay vendors is likely lol. Maybe i'll send one with the foglight ;)

    On Swedish Character:

    As part of his mission to reach 800,000 sales by 2020, Jacoby thinks that Volvo needs to "stop copying the Germans" and be its own brand with a "focus on luxury." He also commented that the current Volvo line has "lost its distinguishing points in the products." He went on, "You can immediately recognize you're sitting in a BMW or an Audi and I don't think Volvo is there yet. Volvo at the moment is not sharp enough or in harmony with what the brand stands for. It needs to return to its Swedish roots--not so much sporty but more functional with Swedish and Scandinavian elegance."

    In terms of styling, Jacoby envisions a Volvo where "Simplicity is the key. We need to stop copying the Germans. We should express what Scandinavia stands for: high values for human beings, strong social security and welfare. We don't have to be the same size or the same package." He also hopes to cut the range down to two or even one basic platform, with a new modular engine family filling the space under hoods. V8s are out, and even six-cylinders are at risk as four- and five-cylinder engines become the go-to powerplants, aided by hybrid electric drivetrains.

    Can't really say I disagree

  3. I met one of the founders of Armando Ramos cigars Paul Megier waiting for freight at JFK, definitely something to be said for a guy who still humps his own deliveries. Ended up chatting for awhile and getting a couple smokes :)

    Reminded me a lot of flyfishing3, especially his affinity for the dead haha
