Cool beans. I don't have pets, so the air blow -> vac is the way to go for me. I've detailed a few of my fam/friends' vehicles in the past, and if they had too much fur to deal with, I'd have to do a rough pass to break up the fur, then blast it, then vac. Either way, I like having the stiff...

No handheld has ever been strong enough for the floors. Mine is a rigid shop vac with the car detail hose kit. It's okay. What I'd like to see are truly better attachments for brushing up dirt from the floor, delicate but long enough to clean the dash up to the window, one with soft bristle...

I'll second what @TrailAdventurer said. It really comes down to what you are looking for with that 95%. I'll add that I really dig the composite bed with sprayed bedliner. It'll last forever, and the spray makes it not slippery. The AT4 has the option for one but not the AT4X. I do have to...

#1 is learn to use your mirrors. The cameras are nice and all, but mirrors are where it's at. It's all semi's need to back up, and is all you need. I like the cameras if I'm trying to miss an object, but practice with your mirrors. Remember you can cut it all the way when you reach your rear...

Ahhhh yes, I had that on the Crosstrek too. Those are very sweet indeed. Forgot about that till now, now I want them again, thanks... At least they're pretty good lights, and the light bar on the TH is stellar

If I ever see "market adjustment" on a quote I walk out and don't look back. Doesn't matter what car it is. I've always bought limited prod or special trims that dealers try that shit. I have laughed my way out the door on more than one occasion. As a pretty solid rule I won't pay more than...

Adaptive how? For which trims? The TH has a manual leveling adjustment for loads and trailers, and all of them have the auto high beams now, right? I don't know that the pixel volvo tech has been approved in the US yet, has it?

It sounds like you found the solution is already there? The way it's tuned for Eco and Normal is to optimize throttle position and fuel economy. With the turbo and e-motor it's a torque monster, so it doesn't need to shift at low rpm. As such, at low gearing, that torque is limited to keep...

This would be great. Half my backseat is go-gear, and I haven't found a good solution that doesn't consume more space in the process.

Same here, very interested in the kayak. Great to be able to blow it up with the on board air compressor! Wrestling with the same questions, I'll want to be able to transport it from spot to spot, or stack the two. Thinking of getting a hitch support bar...

Since we're talking engineering: Braking safety - when the brake boost control is not on, there's a lot of pedal travel, more than any car I've had. When it's on, which is pretty random, seemingly tied to how fast you push the pedal or the camera surveillance system detecting something to stop...

Beautifully. Highly recommended still, wouldn't change a thing. I love how low pro they are. Solid and stable, and imo the perfect height to pivot up and into the seat. I tightened them down one more time during the winter when everything shrank for good measure, but rock solid. I have a...

For some context, I'm just a nerdy engineer that loves to fix things. I have equipment I or my guys engineered on other lines stateside for the brand, and just pay attention to everything. If nobody says anything, nothing gets fixed....

Good idea, gonna have to give that a try.

As much as I think the overlanding community is great, I'm also a remote backpacker and ADV camp n rider, and do a week+ with the guys on water accessible only campsites, so I've got a kit so refined, it gives me that capacity and packs into a canoe or on the back of a motorcycle. There's...

Thanks for the hug brother! But no really, the key fob sucks either way, but at least I can lock my car from in the house. To get the auto start from the keyfob to work I have to be within RFID tag range, not radio range it would seem, which completely defeats the purpose as we all know. For...

Absolutely lol.
