If it isn’t, then I am a pancake.

I didn't know Volvo was so ahead of its time. Somewhere in my mind there's the story that EOBDII is only found on cars from 2002 and younger. My bad!

It was more ahead of its time than you think.

In the U.S., OBDII was mandatory from 1996 and on.
In Europe, EOBDII was mandatory from 2000 or 2001 and on, depending on when the model was first introduced, existing models were given an extra year.

Well, you can't say you didn't get your money's worth out of the originals!

I put them in the classifieds as ‘tested spares” and will ship with a quart of Scot’s Oil

I've had passengers in my S70 who think the car is an 06 (that's an average), they're floored when I tell them it's a 98.

I humbly offer a sacrifice to the P80 Gods for that gorgeous piece of artwork known as the front seat.

How many hours behind the wheel is that? For a non-colonialist.
