i had been on the fence about the current V, but yours gives me goosebumps
P8211232.JPG
in chicago a few weeks back. i drove to pittsburgh right after taking this photo, during which the car ticked over 245k. you can see some of its various flaws, but for having twice as many miles as most cars on the road, i can't complain.

i hit the front end up with a claybar and some scratch-x before this picture, and was really pleased with how well it came out. white paint isn't as glamorous as black, but it surprised me how much difference it makes, even at a distance, to clean up the small scratches, spots, and swirls. (not that you can tell from this photo.)

^^ Great Volvo, and great photo. Hell yea.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I have just installed a 6000 lumen LED lightbar inside my lower bumper opening; I have wired it to turn on with my foglights. I do a lot of remote night driving and this fit the bill perfectly, and no I'm not one of those clowns that drives around in traffic with this on!
