Re: The great P80 Volvo Bloopers - Idiots - Fails thread - June 2023

Volunteered to do an oil change. Afterward started car to move it and when I put it in drive it was like neutral. Motor revved but wouldn't move. I had drained the transmission fluid. Motor had 10 qts of oil in it and trans was empty. Car was my dad's 69SS Camaro pace car. I was 10 years old.
