Heck, my buddy is glad paying $210 CDN (about $150 US) for an hour of a Volvo dealer's mechanic time so they can confirm what we have told Volvo about his son's car's problem and they have now done that and agreed the fuel pump is indeed faulty. We have no wiggle room on this as to get the warranty on the pump failing they have to diagnose it for the warranty to go through. I understand it why they have to do this but really, Robert's $10 is well worth it!

I'll be honest... This grown man wants to cry right now 😭 I had given up on the gray 850. I thought I was gonna sell for $1000 on here. It was suppose to be a success but felt like a failure. I doubted Robert would be able to diagnose over the phone. But he did! Thank you scot850. I've seen your name here somewhere but thank you nonetheless. Updating the p80 thread 😭...

Free ticket from mom

There are 0600, 0900, 1100, 1700 flights ftom TUL to DEN on United

I’ll need your name and date of birth to arrange.

You need a REALID to fly, look at your license and make sure it meets TSA rules for ID or you get a bill to travel in these horrible times. I think the ID check fee is $45.

At least in old Soviet Union we just needed papers, here we need papers and pay the Governmrnt to check them

Yeah, I remember that requirement now. I know for sure it is not realID. You'd think you'd need a REAL one to drive, but how strange mine must've come out a CrackerJack box. I don't think I want to fly, but I'll keep the idea open.

No idiot lights illuminated
Parking brake 100% functional

-Added to OP

Drive #2 today: no ABS/Tracs light, so there's a growing body of evidence that cleaning the very dirty rear sensors worked.

The driver seat got reupholstered some time in the past. All weather floor mats in all four places. There is an AUX in adaptor box wired in... I haven't tried it. It has a male mini audio connector, and what looks to be a female USB connector on it. It is where the ash tray was, and the wire is about 18 inches long so it reaches the passenger seat.

There are no bad smells in this car. It doesn't have new car smell of course, but no bad smells.
