- If you are a Volvo enthusiast (you probably are LOL)...
Actually, I'm not. I only bought the car because it was cheap. I am a frugal person. I'm just trying to figure out how to get the money back out of it that I've spent on parts...
Well....i must say that you're at the wrong place then.
This is Volvo enthousiast forum and we all love our cars and all Volvos....actually... we adore them.
If you would like to buy mine its for sale. I'll make you a good deal. Shipping might be high though.

MVS is for anyone who can act like a grownup, if you hate Volvo’s but have one and want to keep it going, we’re good with that.

All welcome, attitude towards your car not important, attitude to others paramount.

I have always treated everyone here with respect even when I get LOL's and told that I'm making "stupid" decisions. There were some comments in this thread that made me mad and I let them go unanswered. I never said I hated volvos - I said I wasn't an enthusiast and bought my V70 because it was cheap. Anyhow, I agree with your comment but hope it wasn't directed at me.

I apologize if you thought that was directed at you. It wasn't..more as a gentle reminder to others to respect your decision.

If the mods have a problem with something here you get a post or PM saying " please don't this"

Then you get booted.

It's a real tribute to all you gals and guys that this is a pleasure to moderate here, with 99% of time focussing on making it better and not dealing with toddlers. Thanks to all of you for keeping it that way and keeping it respectful to all races colour screeds genders planets even people from Denver.

One other idea - you may have a local community college that would pick it up and do the work for little or no $$$...
