The best one I’ve used is Adam’s and doesn’t smell as horrible. However, they all seem to need a little hands on. But I feel like Adams reduces the amount of effort required.

Napoleon TravelQ Pro 285X portable grill to replace the POS Weber Go Anywhere that alternates between having the flame blown own by the wind and burning my hand / fingers. Should be here later this week.

Almost went with the Weber Traveler, which also seems like a great choice for tailgating.

Bought some new hiking boots/pants off Amazon for the babymoon hiking trip to Utah in a couple weeks.

Also bought out the lease on my wife's '19 Mazda CX-5, got about $5500 in equity for trade-in for this Volvo XC60 T6 & another $5k off the asking price on the Volvo, as they hadn't sold it for 100+ days. Volvo has this rare dark red brown interior, fully loaded, 18k mi, and still has 3 yrs of factory warranty. Should be great for the new baby!

My wife has an XC60 T6. Other than some electronic stuff, it is a great car. Powertrain is outstanding and really comfortable seats with plenty of room for cargo.

Apart from the infotainment system (and granted, this was quite a few years ago), the XC60 pleasantly took me by surprise. Handled great, very comfortable seats and some nice get up and go for a 4-cylinder.

She's been in love so far, and I enjoy driving it, I hated her Mazda as a driver's car lol.

I'm already pretty used to the infotainment system, but the Google Nav surprisingly sucks. It's also crap that Apple Maps can't go full screen. That's our only issue so far.

It's AWD with the T6 twin-screw (s/c'd & turbo'd), so it's got great pickup. I think it's 306hp/295lbtq

Thank you! It hard to say because I kinda de-hyped myself prior to test driving and buying the car. I spent weeks watching videos and reviews and one review that really stuck to me was about how Larry Chen spoke about how mundane the R32 was to drive and how it felt like an Altima so I got there with pretty low expectations. Even on stock wheels and pretty basic tires, the car felt extremely solid and planted. It felt great on the twisties. On paper it has 276 horsepower but that's a bold face lie and some examples have up to 300+ horsepower so it's on par with modern family sedans . It's definitely not the fastest car in the world but I fell in love again with my childhood hero after driving it so in my mind, it does definitely live up to the hype.
