Thanks VLN!
In celebration of year 24 I'll have new MVS shirts up for sale tomorrow. I bought a screen printing station, inks, squeegees, screens... the whole 9 yards... and taught myself to print.

Thank you for being here, Blacklab. MVS has seen low 8-figures of visitors since 2001, so definitely some Volvos saved and many more improved/fixed in little ways of course. It feels good, it gives me self esteem.
Fun fact on MVS visitor traffic: Sweden is 9% of the number of visitors of the US.

There's how to get them!
Note: shipping is $8 flat, but the PayPal button is ignoring the flat rate, so if you buy two shirts it's charging $16 for shipping, etc. I'll immediately refund any shipping beyond $8. FYI.
^ I fixed this long ago, the shop works smoothly.
