It would be a shame to drive a nice 1995 850 in salt. If it was me I would buy a cheap winter car with snow tires to use and store the Classic Volvo each winter. In the past we had a house in South Orange, New Jersey which had a winter 4X4 Chevrolet in the garage. 4X4 was needed to get up the hill t...

Up here in Canada it is illegal to only run 2 winter tires on the driven wheels. People do, but it is stupid to do so, especially where ice is concerned. Change the windshield washer fluid prior to hitting cold/freezing weather. If not you can crack the pump bodies. Good anti-freeze as the guys have...

The 'coldest' one seems to be a Rain-x on Walmart USA. There may some marketing opportunities for Alaska perhaps

Dave in Maine is correct. I had all but forgot about snowshuvels and ice scrapers! Also whatever car you use during the winter it is important to always keep the fuel tank topped off full when storms are expected and not below 2/3 all winter. If you get stuck and need the heater during a storm you w...

Dave in Maine ...thanks for the Public Service reminder on a newcomer to winter.

Technically all the SIPS, ETC can be removed. Not saying I'd want to do it, or would recommend doing it, but from a technical standpoint they can be removed - just like safeties on industrial equipment, furnaces, and weapons... I wonder what the insurance company's take will be on it in the event th...

Ahem, there's no such thing as a 12v led... A 12v led is just an led that someone else already wired up... Splitting hairs I know. A true 12V LED has a chip resistor included in the same package as the LED. This is a true 12V green LED. It has the current limiting resistor built in. The chip resist...

OK so I had a couple more minutes to think about this annnnd ... the 98 V70 and 850 ignition switches are not the same, so the wiring likely isn't either. Don't use the 850 diageram I posted up there! But better yet, the US market 1998 S/V70 wiring diagrams can be perused (https://www.matthewsvolvos...

All other completely rational statements aside...let's not make statements like this.
