All of the above is why I have a fleet. A Smart car for fun(?), Volvo wagon for most moving, Mercedes sedan because I like the ride, a Ford 1 Ton for hauling, and a 16 foot flat bed trailer for the really big stuff.

I have a large fleet too, just nothing to haul stuff. I sold my Mountaineer a couple months ago because I want something else for my work truck. Just haven’t gotten anything yet... instead I bought a Kia Forte because there was money to be made on it!

:lol: My brother keeps telling me to convert my 240 into a pickup. If the right XC90 came along, I wouldn’t mind another V8.

Yuck.
Dunno what the brown spooge is, tried to not get any in my mouth.

Followed our Guru Robert's advice. Do NOT attempt to change a manual shift knob in the car. Mayhem would ensue.

Shifter knob : 9445851
Ball seat (Yes, it will break when disturbed) : 3502504
99 measurable progress.JPG
Process made slightly less awkward by removing the seat - also yuck.
VA issued a portable lumbar traction device. I spent some time in it very recently.

Yuck! It's nasty how much crap gets built up down there. I bet those new parts will feel much better!
