Please keep me posted on how you like it. That's currently at the top of Jenn's list to replace her Grand Cherokee in a year or two... or three (we need to save a lot!).

We were planning to get an XC90 but decided on the Buick Enclave instead. Most luxurious of the GM mid-size SUVs and most importantly for us, has captains chairs in the  2nd row for easier access to the 3rd.

My grandson, Butt Crack, got perfect attendance in reform school. We are so proud of him!

Her list currently looks like this:

Volvo XC90
Range Rover Sport
Ford Exporer Platinum (dark horse)
Infiniti QX60 (maybe another dark horse)
Acura MDX (patooey- honda)
Lexus GX 460
Audi Q7

Initially she had the Subaru Assent on the list too, but I think it doesn't have the stance she's looking for (she likes to sit higher in traffic like her Grand Cherokee lets her).

I think a number of those offer captains chairs for the second row but I forget which ones other than the Subaru and Ford.

Would this be reform boarding school?

The Volvo XC90 is a nice vehicle.  Small problem when the tire sensors go out.  You have to replace all including the one for the spare otherwise the dash light will stay on.  Around $100 per wheel.    I tried resetting the dash light but because the spare hadn't been changed out the light came back on.  (not my car, one of my co-workers)

How old was it when that happened? I know we haven't had that problem in the first 6 years on our WK2, but I have no idea how that compares to average.

Anyway $500 works out to be about 0.7% vehicle cost. So if it's a maintenance item maybe once or twice in the life of the vehicle, I wouldn't sweat it too much.

I might be annoyed if it were much more often than that though.

That's quite a list. Has she seen the Range Rover Velar? Another dark horse, I expect.

Sounds like you turn over vehicles before the life span gives out.  I'll check on it.

She didn't mention it to me so I can't say.

But does it offer a 3rd row? She's not considering anything that doesn't.

 Tom next time just use a small piece of black, has to be black, doesn't need to be Volvo electrical tape over the TPI light, works great.

Wasn't my car.  I have a OBDII and can reset the dash lights but thanks.  I think she does that already   
KevM....the tire sensors last for 8 yrs.  You'd probably get rid of the car by then.  The recommended r/r schedule.

These arrived today. We have had bad weather down here in NZ but this delivery brightened up the day so much that the sun came out. I have to go for a ride now.





Cheers, voncrump

ok if I put what made me smile yesterday? Seems like the right place to drop something pretty frivolous, that only this crowd may find amusing.

I attempt to keep chickens. In reality I support free range raccoons. I've donated many hens to the cause. I'm a slow learner however, and currently have a half dozen pullets (hens not yet old enough to lay) living in a dog crate in the basement prior to being moved out to the coop.

I also have a rooster. My roosters name is Frank. Frank loves to sing. Frank is a bad ass. For real. He's survived a couple attacks by raccoons which have proven their lethality.

Frank knows the girls are in the basement, which is a walkout. Last night as I was reinforcing the coop prior to the new tenants moving in, Frank was out and about. I lost track of him. Not easy because my Aussie keeps good tabs on him, and as I said, he never. shuts. up. Went looking for him and found him thusly....



Seems he knows a bit about the heritage of my Italian steed! He was quite proud of himself and allowed himself to be photographed. Perhaps a rebranding of the Jackal is in order?

"IL Gallo!" (the Rooster!!!) 

Someone had this decal on their chrome fender the back of their 850-T, as I recall at one of our Cottonwood N.A.R.'s...
