Looks like they’re in their natural habitat.

For how long is the cold and snow projected to be around?

Try to stay warm and plan for even those short trips if you have to make them. Take more warm stuff and possibly even a blanket just in case that traffic snarl happens. Keep the fuel tank topped up.

Junkyard run done yesterday to recover a set of folding mirrors and the center dash button. It was a mild -17C when I arrived, but the big difference was no wind chill. It warmed up quickly to -10C by the time I left. I'd rather not go there at those temps, but when a rare part arrives you have to take the chance!

Stay safe all our MVS friends and families!

Folding mirrors for a P80? Weren't those a JDM option? Very interesting

Nope, it was for an 06 V70 AWD. Never seen them on a P80.

Doesn’t sound too bad? Beats cold misty rain over here.

After almost a year of patience I've found a very nice load cover that’s been in storage for the past 15 years.

Also cleaned the original oil trap by soaking it in industrial degreaser. It’s ready for a second round around the block.

I want to see a close up of the moose antler trailer hitch insert!
