I have learned much through your forum. I have an ultimate appreciation for the fact that you do not have to do this, but it is in fact a labor of love in some respect. Happy new year, and best wishes.

It's a good time of the year to say thanks to Matthew and also all the Moderators and contributors alike who I believe make this the best Volvo resource in the world.

I only wanted to say, the icon photo, is in fact the engine mount in the front right low. Get used to that vantage point anyone that may want to have a smoother driving experience. IT IS not bad, and does make the ride better. I am crying again , so one more post or two?

Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary... That's what gets you.

Thank you, sirs. Car troubles are a downer, they're one of the things in life that have 0 redeeming value*. Especially in North America, where you need a car to get places because public transport is "thin" at best -- far behind say, Europe.
Thus, helping lessen the shock monetarily or timewise of a broken Volvo is a good feeling, something I'd do (did) without pay. But thanks to our sponsors, it pays! So you don't have to thank me. I am humbled by your gratitude, in any case.
Happy New Year!
* excepting the wonderful feeling of fixing something yourself, and the know-how to fix your car if you're away from home

Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.
Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

I would like to add my thanks and appreciation to Matthew, the moderators, and the contributors for making this site
possible - and I extend separate thanks to the sponsors who I am sure help Matt's disposition while putting up with us!
I don't make many posts but I usually check the site every day for problems, fixes, etc., and am continually learning
from it. Again, thank you all.
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all.
