Update. Really glad I kept her. My other thread covers the cylinder head job after she gulped an exhaust valve earlier in January but since then MRS Abscate switched jobs to NYC METRO on LI, so I now have two work locations to staff with Volvo’s.

Will end up with the Bavarian Money Waster and ShaggKira on Long Island and Catherine/Evita upstate

Are we talking about a 1999 V70 T5 manual in nautic blue? Because I know a guy who really misses having a stick shift nautic blue wagon. Misses it like how he instinctively still reaches for the clutch pedal in his automatic V70...
