Hit the only milestone that matters today (for another 111,111 miles anyways), the 2 turned into a 3 a split second before I took the picture.

Just wanted to say thanks to the community. When I bought my V70, it was leaking oil, getting 16mpg, turbo non-functional, blasting smoke out the dipstick, and the list goes on. If it wasn't for this site, the car would have died a long time ago. Thanks to the info and repair database here, I have managed to learn how do everything from pulling my engine/transmission, to figuring out that sometimes a fuel pump relay just dies. Proud to be a contributor and a member.
