Based on this and the cell phone announcements I hear from the cabin and cockpit crews when flying, I wonder whether certain kinds of phones have more effect on aircraft systems than others. Put...
That is an easy calculation. I had always thought the swept area was determined more by the caliper pads than by the rotor. I would have thought that what you described was actually "rotor area." ...
Interesting idea. Not sure how I'd go about doing it. Any suggestions?
On a personal note, I used to live in your area. How much has it changed since 1985?
Does anyone know the brake swept area (split front/rear) for the 2003/2004 XC70 or know where I can find it? I have searched the web for the information but have failed miserably. Shouldn't Volvo...
I doubt I'd be able to hear any flexing noise over the din from my car's cargo cover. The one on my XC70 was pretty quiet. What do dealers to silence it?
I am definitely thinking of the Escape Hybrid, though I'm told they will be going to retail customers first. So if not this fall, probably next fall.
The Escape seems pretty safe to me, and...
This may be the most lopsided poll in VolvoXC.com history.
Should I keep it to myself if I decide to go for the Miata and Escape?
Fortunately I've never quite reached empty.
Relative merits of pressure vs. wiper headlight washers?
Is the "new" center console the one from the S60?
The radio looks the same, except it now has buttons for stations.
Thanks for...
Happy to hear you're happy. I replaced my '03 XC70 with my present '04 V70 AWD before the XC70 reached 15,000 miles, but it sure felt like a car that was in for a good long run. I wonder...
Just so everyone has the full picture:
• The total cost for leasing the Escape and the Miata (including insurance) will be about the same as for the V70.
• I would have been replacing the V70...
I was recently offered the option of replacing my leased 2004 V70 AWD with a 2005 Ford Escape and a 2004 Mazda Miata for about the same total cost. While I know that such a move would be viewed...
Perhaps their systems only recognizes cars purchased or leased from them.
The only time I have ever experienced anything like that was in my 1984 SAAB 900 when I had driven about 100 miles with the handbrake partially engaged.
There are so many cars around with them that I often just have to look left, right, or straight ahead and choose the program I like best. I guess I can live without the sound.
My passengers?...
Advertising for the 2005 Ford Escape touts a new, advanced four wheel drive system. Did the Escape switch from a viscous system to Haldex?
Delivery
Not what most people are used to at dealerships. The entire process took about 15 minutes. Basically, I went to a garage where I handed over the keys and paperwork for my 2003...
Not to be difficult, but I couldn't find an answer that suited me. My oil changes are done by the company garage.
Sorry to hear that people in Korea can be just as discourteous as those elsewhere. I hope it wasn't someone you know. Acquaintances are often the most "shy" about reporting such events....
While unloading my car tonight I noticed the plastic trim around the liftgate window was a bit loose. My car doesn't have any rattles, but I wonder if it might be a culprit in some that do....
Art, based on your location, I should ask you a ton of questions about the Canadian Rockies. Of course we probably won't be able to go there until our kids are a little older. Someday...

We could always have a Seinfeld-Type contest and see whose car was the filthiest. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
