    That's awesome!! #1 at BH is a #####... I had #2.

    I agree regarding the KW. It's not you. Including my KW, it's the third one that's done it too. Just takes a bit to get used to.

    Congratulations on your first load. I just delivered #4 today in Kansas City.

    I don't... but the hill assist can at times be a bit frustrating, even in the Volvos, especially when trying to back up a slight hill while turning... worth remembering when it does happen, in your Volvo.

    And, you may have an issue with you nice awesome smooth Volvo and they toss your backside into a KW for a day or two or more.

    When it happens, again, you will say "now what did @chralb say about some button???"

    :D

    Stay Safe, and back Smooth!!!

    ####.... DOUBLE ####...
    that ruined someone's day for sure.

    Hope the Driver was safe but not sure where he/she could have hidden in that aftermath. :-(

    You missed the point. Not saying check the Volvo. Saying it "may" have been the issue in the KW's.

    I'm no lover of the KW trans but i never saw it "not in gear" when starting out or until enough throttle was applied. No matter anymore though ... eh? Enjoy the Volvo. ;)

    That's been debated here. Best bet is just give them a call I say.

    Be sure and speak to a store manager or assistant manager instead of a 18 yr old teenie bopper who will say she's gonna find out and just put you on hold..then continue playing on her cell phone..only to come back on the phone and say "Sir, they said you can't" lol trust me on this.
     
    popcorn169 and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

    Last time I was in the office in Wytheville there was a sign that said do not park at Walmart you will get towed.

    With all the places to park in Wytheville why risk it?

    The pilot usually has spots open no matter what time or day it is.
