I had Meese stickers on the flanks on my red 850 wagon. Some kids at a stoplight took offense at my wannabe F-car, until they saw the moose and laughed and laughed. But eventually they just weathered off.
But eventually they just weathered off. The kids or the meese stickers?

I think they drove off...... The stickers lasted maybe 4 years...? I think that's when he first started selling them, and the coatings maybe improved after that.

I have just this one left, never put it on.....

I had one of these stickers on the grill of my '83 245. Most of it is still there after some 15 years.

Are any stickers with Volvo on them still available? The 3 I got this year don't have Volvo on it anymore.

Headed to the junkyard to look for some bits and pieces. Sadly, none of the area yards have the cars needed on the covid donation thread (forgot what we were calling it).

Later in going to go to a Toyota stealership to pick up the ATF (as soon as I find the proper spec again). You guys use that fluid, right?

I also need to figure out how to post pictures. Ben is anxious to make an appearance here.

Toyota TIV (T4), the JWS 3309 is the spec you’ll often find that the Aisin Warner trans’s prefer.

It’s typically around $6/qt up here, sold in cases of 6/case.

So I'm not trying to cheap out on the trans fluid at all but while I was researching stuff on RockAuto (air filters and Bosch plugs), I came across the actual AISIN ATF0T4 fluid. Is this the same fluid just branded Aisin instead of Toyota? Should I just stick with Toyota?

Pictures coming soon...today I'm returning to the junkyard for a seat for my father-in-law's Celica and then I have to put a Bonneville bike back together (carbs, tank, throttle cables etc).

MoVolvos, eBay has the Volvo branded stickers still. Search for "Volvo Prancing Moose" and you'll be rewarded.

Even cheaper yet is Valvoline MaxLife ATF. Even Jimmy57 endorses it for A/W AT P2’s. It’s available at Walmart for around $17/gallon. I’m currently transitioning between Toyota T4 and it.
