Pissed off

[unixronin]

Way to fucking go, impatient Metrocast service van driver #87, who just blew past us at 15 over, on a double yellow, in the rain, approaching a blind curve on a twisty, hilly two-lane road through the woods with lousy sightlines.  Care to take a guess at WHY that entire stretch of road is double yellow?

Ah. Must be your turn today.

Yesterday I *twice* had someone change lanes on me right in front of my front wheels. Lucky for them I've got good ABS brakes and am not afraid to use them.

SRSLY! How can you not see a large white mud-covered box with blazing headlights? (Yes, I wiped the mud off the headlights.)

The Volvo has little wipers for the headlights because it is important for the headlights to be clear. *nods head sharply*

[unixronin]

Of course, we need to get those fixed at some point....

ZOMG! A feature that the LR3 doesn't have!! I should trade it in :)

(I'm still laughing at the before and after reactions of the off-road Jeep dudes on Saturday)

Does the LR3 have extra-sturdy "on the sides of the windscreen" pillars to ensure moose don't enter that way? Probably my most favouritest piece of Volvo design (at least in the "normal car" space, the C-202 and C-303 have other neat features and so does the tracked Volvos).

[hugh_mannity]

No, unfortunately, but the damned thing's built like a tank, so it should be somewhat moose-resistant.

Not that I'm planning to find out any time soon...

[vatine]

If the windscreen sides are the classic Landy I-bars, instead of the flimsy tinfoil used in most production cars, "probably".

The Mini-cedes is also built like a tank for which I am grateful and also unwilling to pit it against a moose. After all, there's no way it is large enough to actually carry home an entire moose.
