You can unload those 17s for a big chunk of green to some wanker who misses his Big Wheel Wheel Trike....

Exactly my plan. With the weird location comments over the last couple years, I have a question. You located in US or Canada? You seem familiar with Canada maybe?

2years and 8,000 miles. I have no idea how it got so corroded.
Us Sailors call that stuff 'spooge'.
Double-check inside the cap; sometimes a steady miss can cause spark tracing.

Inside of the cap was very clean.

Those S80 wheels look MUCH better!
Is the GT badging original to the car or did you add that? I've never seen a GT with actual badging. Pretty cool!

Im assuming its original. I think I saw a couple GT models with the badging online.

It needs to be desert arid dry in there , too. Is that moisture or just reflection?

I grew up 2 miles from the Canadian border and would ride my bike over all summer. No ID, they would just wave us over the border.

People think Canada has no enemies in the world but there is actually along standing armed dispute with Denmark that is little known, its googable.

Premium gas is always good to use, but not necessary for the Volvo turbo motors, which have fairly low compression actually.

It's the higher compression NA's that really need premium fuel, or at least mid grade.

Definitely feels dry. Im gonna use that sweet FCP warranty replacement and just swap out the wires, cap and rotor. This time I'm going to put a small amount of dielectric grease around the inside of the boots to seal them better. Hopefully that keeps the moisture out.
