I'm pretty sure duct tape is the only thing holding my center console together and the dome light assembly to the roof. Wish Volvo would have used metal tabs instead of plastic ones.

Did ALB BOS ALB today. 300 miles and four amazing seminars at the Lester Wolfe Workshop at MIT on brain imaging

Found four new clients too

Got the exhaust repaired today in my 95 where it had separated at the seam behind the cat. They put in about 12 inches of pipe there.

Three cheers for Doug at Magic Muffler, he's done this repair now on four of my P80 cars. Inexpensive, quality work in a timely fashion.

Woke up this morning to about -12 celcius. Headed into my normal work commute.
About a block away from work, I had the low coolant light pop on! I was at work 20 seconds after so no worries there. At quick glance looked like it was the upper radiator hose (planned on changing those suckers anyway before winter hit, but it hit early!)
But, after getting it into the shop, I realized it's my radiator!
Surprisingly extremely easy to get it out. Took about 30 mins to have it out and ready for installation. Sadly, it won't be in until tomorrow morning.
So she hangs in the air overnight, at least in the warm shop haha

It’s not a race, bit I’m chasing your mileage PHIL....

Ok, it’s a race. At least it’s more of a race than driving by that R in NC every week

At least this R in NC is running and driving now (kinda).

BEst quote of the day (No Volvo Content)

"When it gets cool, the shifting gets a bit notchy, but it's fine if you double-clutch..

That's awesome that she's driving a manual car still!

I think she may have passed me at the light yesterday. The speed demon she is =)

Just got rid of 95% of the auto trans wiring on the R. It's so satisfying to delete things!
Took a while to separate the harness from the rest of the engine harness, but it's well worth it for someone as OCD as me!
