I don't think those are out of a Focus :v:

You only hit that button once and always immediately after starting the motor and before doing anything else :smugmrgw:

You can set it to be always on, but not memory, but it should always be on anyway

Probably between 4th and 5th with 1 being bhind the same gate as reverse regularly is in a 6 speed.

Beyond initially starting out, you really shouldn't need first any more than you do reverse.

This annoys me with the car pool I'm using, they've disabled all the settings in the cars (all Volvos) which means the despicable auto stop function is on by default. You can turn it off with a button, but it turns back on the next time you start the engine.

Never thought I would I would see this in the wild let alone at the Jersey Shore. The color is definitely very striking especially in person which is how it caught my eye at first. I almost didn't believe it was the real deal until I saw that Polestar badge.

Yeah, a wagon. I was pretty stoked and surprised to see it.

While I didn't get a look at the license plate, I'm pretty sure it's from out of state due to the lack of a front license plate and the different inspection tags.

Might possibly be one of the press cars. One of which Volvo have said they'll get down to DC at some point so I can drive it.

Which I guess it could have considering I can't see the interior, but I would prefer it on the exterior.

Thank you for your time.

I owned the Olds version of that exact wagon. Brown paint, wood sides, and tan leather. It was like driving a couch, only with a 350 and straight pipes. :getin:

As long as the vans meet or exceed whatever standards are placed on mobile homes I'm not sure how they could stop you. I would assume it's mostly fire regulations because your average mobile home has the structural integrity of toilet paper.

I had seriously considered doing this to my Miata, but you can basically forget about running it anywhere sanctioned - NASA requires that your car be based on a closed-body original to run in their events.

I think it may have to do with the fact that there are potentially going to be 2,000 people inside it.

Well, it's for preppers, right? At the point where they're trying to shove 2000 people in there, the county likely has bigger problems.
