ErikS Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 A generation of parents handing down their 850's and S/V70's to their douche bag kids is over, that's what killed the VS trolling. Well, that and the Facebook page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and I think some of the idiots stay on Facebook. Which is good, but I feel like they won't have the opportunity to go 'oh hey, there's cool stuff to learn'. Tbricks has a wider spread of cars people go there for, and the backyard mechanic vibe, which syncs up with the older simpler cars. It doesn't seem like there's as many new enthusiasts ending up with an older S60 at the same rate as the S70 had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most useless Facebook pages ever created. and Joey is probably just slightly more useless.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I laughed when I read this. Just confirms why you never want to own a newer Volvo out of warranty. And no wonder BMW owners in general are such douche bags. They suffer from constant gouging from the dealer so they take it out on the rest of the world. Highly tempts me to make the next car a Lexus if I can find an interior that isn't too plasticky. https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/the-most-and-least-expensive-cars-to-maintain-by-maddy-martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilber33 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I'm surprised VW is so far down on that list. I did consider a Lexus when I was looking at S80's but the interior are so gaudy. It's obviously a Toyota, and to make it feel fancy they decided to stick fake wood on everything imaginable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 There are four car makers no longer around on that list. Also, volume (N) counts. Jeep and Land Rover in the middle? Riiiggghhhtt .... Find the mean and SD and take the number of vehicles out there on the road, totally different results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn-E Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I expected VW to trend much higher on the list too. If I could get my hands on the raw data I'd run a couple of analyses that we would run at Nielsen to get a better view as Erik is talking about. That said, just looking at sheer cost by survey isn't a wrong number it just causes those makers with smaller sample sizes to show higher variance. I would look at this as directional data rather than literal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXXL Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Had a spare snabb iac hose, decided to make a pool return jet out of it. Moves the water pretty damn good! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmsgltr Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I am not surprised at VW's placement on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin. Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Go drive a Lexus....you'll fall asleep. They don't handle or brake good at all they're upscale Toyotas, so they will be reliable. Keep in mind that Toyota/Lexus nav severely limits what you can do while you drive, and frankly it's not a very good system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Well. They don't brake well. Sorry Kevin, old teacher in me ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
