  2. This Is Really Funny You Mention the TV comparsion , as I just had a Run in with a TV repair Crew sort of Speak , The Short Version , I have Been Using Extended Warranty's on Applinances , that I didn't have Time for and or didn't what to Fix Myself , as Far as, TV's go I haven't Fixed On since I had to go to a Harware Store and Buy a Tube for $2.50 and Plug It in the Back of the My Dads Set ! Anyway I had this extended Warranty and 10 days after I bought It Bam , Light Out No Boob Tube , We had an Ice Storm , and Power surges. I called It In and a Three Days Later the Warranty Repair Guy , calls me on the Phone and ask a Few ?s Like waht's wrong and When did this happen etc. - Bam He says this Must have Been Pre-exiting and I will Need to Charge You to come Out , and then the Warranty will Kick In - Hello KIck In , I just Paid Like $385.00 for a Three Yr. Plan . Then This Air Head says So Will I Get Paid When I get There , Paid When You Get Here , I already Paid and You haven't been Here Yet , so How Can You say It was Pre-existing , On an On , I called their Boss and the Under writers and Everybody , What a Pain in the jerk Three Hrs. and No where I took the Time Off , to let them in the House - I Swear I was going to take the Bastards to Court ! So, This Big Wig Mrg. calls Me the next day and apploizes and all that BS , and says He won't be able to Honor Our agreement , says once before We had a Service Call on a Product that had a warranty on It , Well Isn't That the Idea Buddy ! So I Get a Full Refund and Two Weeks go by , I deside to say what the Hell I'll Pull this Baby apart and see what makes it Tick ! 5 yr. Old JVC 32" Table Top , as the Best Quote I got was $115.00 plus Parts just to solder them in ! I did some research and I found a Blog Just Like a Volvo Blog TV repair Guys talking about repairing TV Sets ! My Model was on the site , I read about Issues with the set and It sounded , like what My set did, so I went to Radio Shake got $1.69 Cent Capacitor Heated up the Old one removed It and Solder in the New One , something I have never done before. IT WAS EASY A FARMER WITH FAT FINGERS COULD HAVE DONE IT - COST ME $ 6.95 Total as I needed Silver Solder .018 wire - It Works Great , They even inform readers where to find the bad parts ! Savings $379.00 and I had My Credit Card Company Debit it out of their Bank On Top Of the Refund Just to put them thou some HELL , TWICE ! EngTech
  3. I had a Volvo Dealer say He Honestly blieves , that they want the Cars Not to Last as Long ! You Spend more Money and take out more Loans , and Pay more Taxes , and Stand in Line like the Sheep ! So don't Lay Down on the Job , and take in the Gas Tank ! I'll be Importing a C30 from England, Diesel most likely ! :D
  4. Wow Diesel is 2.48 Here and Gas is 2.62 a gallon , it's the Mpg where the saving Comes In 47.5 Mpg TO 52 Mpg ! All do a Seach for C30 - Diesel and See what You Find ! Stock with the smaller Diesel not the D5 Higher Boost that Motor is 180 Hp and 320 N. Torque - in the S60 getting 42 Mpg ! Still would be able to Chip It and Tune It , Crank Up the HP ! Has anyone seen the Diesels running in the 24.hr Endurance Races , they have been taking a lot of Trophy's It's a Bit of a Re-Think , but We should have them here already ! ps: I left all the colors out and not to many Capitals or to many BOLDS , - I just want to be like everyone else and hurry up and stand in line ! LIKE SHEEP
  5. USA Drivers pay a lot more Per Gal Tax in Gas then Diesel Fuel That's Why , We Don't Have the 42 Mpg Diesels Cars Yet ! We need to Point These Items Out because most , just don't take the Time to Realize and Pay attention entil , It Cost All Of Us $1600.oo Dollars More a Yr. !! OOOooopppp's It's Costing Us That Now ! ! Oh Yeah , ask Your Self Why did It Take , so Long to get Convertors and Clean Diesel , when they had the Technology in 1994 ? We are Currently Drilling Wells 6 Miles Deep below the Ocean in the Gulf , but can't come up with Clean Diesel ? Did You also Know the the Particles from Dirty Diesel have actually Killed , indivials driving down the road that had their mouth wide open an deeply inhaled them , Oh Ya that is why We have all these Air Fresh Filters Poping Up on Auto's everywhere , Not Beacuse We don't like the smell of that Skunk that got Hit Last Week ! NOW ASK YOUR SELF HOW FAST DID WE GOT RID OF CFC's WHEN THE OZONE GOT A BIG WHOLE IN IT ??? So Your Thinking about the Four Yrs, that went into Engineering a Oil Rig the Two Yrs. to Deploy It and the 18 Months to see Any Benefit from It - In We don't Have to Buy as Much Foreign Oil - Well THINK ABOUT THE 7.5 YRS. / You Should of Had been saying Clean Diesel and the $ 12000.00 saving in 7.5 yrs. ! ps: the Little Green Guy is Smoking a Cool Joint !
  6. I'M STARTING TO THINK THE PRIVATE SECURITY THAT ARE MAKING THE MOST MONEY IN THETHEIR ENTIRE LIVES ARE UP TO NO GOOD ! NOTHING LIKE 80,000 TO 120,000 A YR. TO WALK AROUND with a Big GUN and Play Hero ! Some Of them Don't want this to Stop , they'd have to go back to Unemployment or 35,000 a Yr. !
  7. [ B)color="#0000FF"]Ford and all the Big Dealers are Dragging their feet , in bringing to the USA a 42Mpg Auto ! Diesel D5 England has It , We Now have Clean Diesel 2007, so You Tell Me What's Up ! [u]All School Buses will be using Clean Deisel in 2007 and Will Have Cat Convertors ! C30 Volvo D5 for the USA Market , or Buy Something Else ! BMW and AUDI and MERCEDES and VW all -are - Bringing it ON ! So What Happen to Volvo for 2007 - even the 130Hp Deisel would be Better the the 2.4i don't You Think D5 is 180Hp and Tones of Torque ! WHAT ELSE DUE YOU NEED IN AWD = TORQUE !
