Re: New Volvo 850 Purchase!

Congratulation. If you plan to do all the maintenance and repairs, then you are in for a treat or two, or more. I have a 96 855t and from my experience this is the most logically and practically designed vehicle of it's size and weight. There is more information available than any other car. There m...

Re: Penzoil Synthetic from natural gas

Like many 850's, odometer gear has broken again. I have the battery disconnected too often to use the trip computer. Therefo...

Penzoil Synthetic from natural gas

My Fellow Enthusiasts, I seem to be having good results from this oil. It takes longer for it to become dark, and doesn't cause any of the problems attributed to the brand of manufacturer. Anyone know anything factual about this topic? I would like to know. This oil is about $10 less at HD than O' o...

Re: Driver's Seat Reupholstery/Swap

Southern California (God's Country), Los Angeles (city of The Angeles), Historic Route 66 in Glendora to be specific in establishing "where". March 2019 is "when". Now here is the "what": I have a '96 850 Turbo wagon that I love and know with great intimacy. I am not a ...

Re: Coronavirus Thread

I concur with the previous posts. The press would better serve the public by explaining how Congress spends our money rather than hyperbolizing single events like this virus and celebrity deaths and scandals. NPR is no better than FOX. (which invites the question: Is it impossible for Donald Trump t...

Re: What is a good material to cut my own trunk mat?

I have used a discarded Persian style rug after cleaning it at the car wash, industrial carpet, and currently am using a custom fit cardboard with a uhaul furniture blanket, cut and taped underneath. I'm into low weight and sound absorption, no cost repurposing. or go spend your kids tuition at the ...
