Hope that's just sarcasm...
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.

I’m sure he feels his pain, some of, myself included, use sarcasm to cope.

when I'm bored I wander youtube and often find myself watching Robert's videos . Sometimes for things I will never have to do on cars I will never own.

That wagon however is what I'm driving right now and heaven knows what it will need next!

Ok mine isn't an R

I don't understand these kinds of thefts. It has great value to us MVSers, but the cash value isn't very much as compared to your commonly stolen new Accords or Camrys. It's easy to trace, he has the vin and descriptions. It's value as salvage is to people like us, and we'd all be very suspicious of someone suddenly showing up on ebay or craigslist with black '98 V70 panels.

What a shame. first the toolbox, then his wagon.

When did he get a V70R? What happened to the black panther 855?

That's right, the toolbox! That just sucks.

I believe he's helping the owner of this car with a manual swap - it's not his.
