    I can't complain tho 300hp/300tq out of a 2.5 turbo. Only about 4000 S60R models in the US. Goes like a raped ape. 5cyl. Sounds like an old farm tractor at idle

    It does have poly bushings but it just made the ride worse.

    Do not get poly bushings :eek: pretty sure that's been covered before ​

    Inflation, 15 dollar a hour minimum wage coming and you get a reprint. 2 payments of 69.99 she will ask me to make a original.

    Got burnt by that last year. Pre mixed ELC is only good to -37. It doesn't freeze, but it gels and forms crystals, and the webasto will not circulate it. It hit-44 on the thermometer last year, -58 with the wind.
    International uses an elecro hydraulic brake system. They freeze and won't build pressure below -38. I wrap them in battery blankets and plug em in.
    Below -35 we plug em in and webasto..
    Luckily we shutdown at -40. Only bus that would go is the propane with air brakes.
    Teachers convention is tomorrow and Friday. I suspect Monday will be a shutdown day.
    Good, I'm supposed to have a psychologist ride with me all day Monday. They are developing a course for drivers on dealing with kids, and I'm a study subject. Don't need them realizing I'm the crazy one.
    Anyone who thinks busing is easy can have the darn keys.

    On a side note, I watched a car hauler, boosting vehicles on the upper deck, with frozen winches unload today. Not sure I miss that either.
    I used to have 3 sets of gloves for loading/unloading. "Hot" swapped em when fingers started freezing.

    Don’t know why but that reminded me of the Marines anthem, favorite thing about them! “Mazoora, Montezuma”

    My bro in law likes those weirdo wagons. He as owned about a dozen volvos, 1/2 dozen BMWs, Mercedes, saabs.
    Phenomenal cars when they work.
    Canned spam when they don't.
