Are you able to do the same swap in a 4matic wagon? I’m guessing it just needs a subframe swap to RWD, I would like to build one with a 6 speed
@TheAutoInformant8 күн бұрын
I have a friend who is doing a RWD conversion on his S210 and the front end of the car is totally different. Subframe yes but there is a decent amount of removing metal and fabrication that needs to happen. The front of a 4matic car is totally different.

It was lucky and it gave the car to you and it was dirty that's not good off the back but the thing is you couldn't even enjoy your vacation because all you worried about was what charges enterprise was gonna do for you that's not good that's not a customer service that's not enjoying your trip that's not enjoying a car rental if you've got a word about a car rental it's not a good car rental

So what I mean enterprise car rental gouges you one way or the other we need to stop renting their cars I know at least 20 people at church they don't even rent enterprise cars anymore because of their gouging and so they will eventually lose good customers and they will go out of business Boom

During the pandemic, there was a 1 owner, garage kept example for sale near me with over 400k miles on it. M cars of this vintage are worth 5x's what AMG's of this vintage are because the average person is a child, regardless of age. I love M cars also, but when it comes to daily usability & build quality it's not even close in any regard.

I give your xc90 video review a 4 out of 10. You should at least learn the ins and outs of the xc90 and how to operate/components of the xc90 before making a review video for viewers, e.g., the facescreen, you actually don't need to touch/press on the xc90s facescreen in order to scroll through its options the xc90 has an inferred facescreen, you can just wave your finger over the facescreen the screen will respond in whatever direction you wish to view the facescreen options, for those who's worried about finger printing and scratching the facescreen. As for the xc90s engine power/response... you need to reach 3500 RPM before its Turbo will kick in. These are just some of the xc90 fixtures you've not only missed, but failed to learn up on the xc90 or just volvo vehicles in general. Thus the 4 out of 10 given for your review.
