Volvo Psyche
Sunday December 16th
We are having quite a storm up here to day. 16 degrees with sideways snow. My son is supposeto make it to work by 9 am.(weekend lumber yard manager) I tell him, a plow has to go by before he even attempts to go. I clear the drive way as soon as one does, and off he goes.
Then I decide to run downtown,while the coast is clear. I warm up my V70 per with these most excellent instructions.> https://volvoforums.com/m_85598/tm.htm
(don't ask which opinion I chose. But I will tell you, it was somewhere between JimKW's and JPN's)
My V70 takes me out the driveway, but not up the hill. So I do one of those backwards 180's that are so fun in a front wheel car, and head down the hill, to go the other way out of the horse shoe neighborhood we live in.
Our neighbor is out doing his driveway and I put down my window to shout Hi. This is where it happens, I go to put the window up and nothing. I drive the rest of the way(10 mile round trip) try it a few more times, unsuccessfully.
Later, my son calls to say he forgot his lunch, right as another plow goes by. Perfect, I jump in the V70 to make the delivery and the window works fine ! !
It's my belief that my car was comfortable where it was.It justdidn't what to go out in this blizzard and this was it's way of telling me so. What are your thoughts?
