Zero miles here. Oldest now lives with me full time. We have Turkey dinners in the freezer to reheat. As a high schooler she's enjoying the extra sleep this week allows her.

I still have to work tomorrow. Been looking into a Chevy Malibu to replace my Volvo fleet.

Nearest non-OEM dealer is - shall we say - not exactly reliable. A real shame because when they are on top of shit they are awesome. Other times it's like trying to get a straight answer from my ex wife. Haven't named and shamed them on the unlikely chance they get their shit straight permanently. I hope, but it doesn't seem likely. A damn shame.
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

That's the worst. My local Volvo dealers have never been good to deal with. I've had a few good experiences, but overall they have not been helpful. No complaints about the BMW dealers, funny enough.

That’s a perfect description of them. I was going to use them as backup for my donation program then thought better of it

P2 Volvo will not be moved. No vehicles left the home front today. I did turn the 1987 244 around to try better drainage and keep rain out of the trunk.
