I made it! The last 10000 miles took almost a year! But now she's running perfect. I just ran from Indianapolis to st. Louis, the last 300 miles was smooth sailing. How many of you guys are in the club?

One of ours is over the second hump.

Volvo used to issue a nice chrome and brass badge for 100k and 200k, but they stopped about the time of their first sale to Ford. I sold one of those 100k ones on ebay and the other is inside the lid of my tool box. :)

Volvo will still issue an emblem for 100k, 200k and up as well as for 10+ years. Here's mine from my first 70: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... 50#p275550
