I wanna see the jewels and eggcrates on the Bimmers and Jeeps!

But then again, I grew up on the LA/OC border, so my automotive tastes run the Gamut!
Current Volvos:
1998 V70 T5, 112k sat 5 years, still in mechanical coma (finally at the top of the pile )
2004 XC90 T6 AWD: 186k, 60 on transaxle ( traded in )
1998 POS70 N/A: DD/training aid, 236k but really about 240k, I think...ABS module( passed on to son who sold it)

I was getting tired and hungry when I plugged the heater hoses back in last sunday, so I had one pop off on the highway ramp today :x
Got it plugged it back in and made it to work, but now I'm scared of using too much of the right pedal :mrgreen:

Working Volvo Day. Picked up two tubs, 1928 version.... I love the “ ready to pounce “ stance on my S70

Unrelated. ...found an original working ETM from 1999 with 270k miles on it.
