Was this the one in Colorado? Great deal if so.
XC70's are still selling in the low 20's over here but with mileage pushing 100k.
No thanks!

Yes sir. Funnily enough it was imported at Port Hueneme which is less than five miles away from us.
 
The spinning globe on the landing page is appealing, but it zoomed me into a sermon station.
Ha, cant say I was listening to that when I copied the link (weird). It amazes me how many stations in foreign countries have dedicated 80's US/UK music playing.

Used to haul laundry to the laundromat and bleach spilled?

Weird. They made V8Rs with halogens?
Oh, I like this sedan more than I should. Is it really Barents? Seems too green. Also, five fĂĽcking keys??? What crazy person owned this vehicle?

Looks like Barents to me. Nice sport seats too. Who the hell needs that many keys?

Yeah, I almost bought one in FL very similar to this when I was going through one of my "gotta have a V8 before they're all gone" phases, lol.

Owner may have lost one key, then both keys, and had two new ones done at the same time, then found the missing keys!
 
Ok, if an auto P80 C70 is your thing, this one looks pretty cool and has absurdly low miles...less than 12,000! Otrera wheels and minty seats.

 
I did post it, didn't include the pics. How does one do that on a phone lol

Depends on how the photo is coded/hosted. Most of the time you can just press and hold to get a copy action, then go back to the SS post and paste. If you get one that won’t play nice, you can screenshot it and then insert but that takes a little more effort. It depends on my mood in that moment when that happens.

You can still go old school and manually write the BB Code.

I either download the pic(s) or screenshot it, then attach it.
Tapatalk on my phone kind of sucks, but the mobile website is also not super user friendly so choose your poison :D

That's why a lot of my posts have low res screen shots

I always screenshot, copy the image, and then paste
 
I wonder if it's a generational thing, I absolutely hate radio (the commercials, the radio jingles, the constant loop of the same dozen songs). So does just about everyone my age that I know, it's music streaming apps and podcasts. Is it the commentary that makes it for you? I am genuinely curious, maybe I need to open up more and try listening to the radio again (still don't have a GROM for the V70).
For reference I'm 42ish, I have a few local radio stations saved and being in a large metro area there are options, and the big rock station has good personalities on it, but 99% of the time I stream from my phone (and yes I still have a few cd's in the car).

Sirius & Amazon music as well as some podcasts (music) for when I don't have service or want a change.
 
We have a station like that out of Fordham University in the Bronx, WFUV.
I can't get the station at home unless I play it through the Sonos. But if I'm ever driving in western CT I tune in.

Man, I really miss good college radio stations! Living in the Boston area in the later 80s they were prolific. Brandeis, Harvard, MIT, UNH and Framingham State were all great stations! Actually WDJM was my favorite!

+1 I've been listening to some cool ones based out of Germany and Denmark on my Replaio app. It's neat because they will play songs that were 80s hits there that I really never had any exposure to. So instead of hearing the same 80s song for the five billionth time, it keeps it fresh within the same sound/style!

I force the desktop site on my phone lol.

I could never even figure out how to find a thread on taptalk. 90% of my SS usage is on a real computer so that fixes a lot of the UX problems with posting photos and in general.

Absolutely, for a generic post here tapatalk works, but for my bigger threads that require formatting and information I make sure to use my laptop/computer

I bought tapatalk pro or something years ago, so it's just always been on my phones, but of all the Volvo forums, only Swedespeed is even supported

100% this. Only use my work laptop for SS and sometimes my tablet at home.
Phones are great for many things, but complete garbage for others. For instance, it's amazing that how many times that I will send a pdf for work, and the recipient is 'working from their phone' and never notice the attachments, etc. I wanted to throttle one guy in particular late yesterday afternoon, because the typical move is "you never sent it to me".
