Alright,
Over the weekend (Saturday) I was driving home and listened to Tom and Ray's Radio Car Talk. All of sudden I heard Tom and Ray mentioning a follow-up on Heidi vs husband who wants to DIY Timing Belt on his 1998 Volvo Cross Country, I started to pay more attention.
Just listen to the portion between 25:35 ---> 30:05, you will have a GOOD LAUGH!!!
Enjoy Volvo enthusiasts...

The highlights of the story:
1- Heidi has a "stubborn" husband.
2- English is his 5th language.
3- According to Tom and Ray, "changing the Volvo TB is like running a marathon without the shoes tied".
I laughed so hard because I have done a lot of TBs (Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna etc.), and I don't think a Volvo TB is more difficult than other cars.
4- Heidi's husband successfully replaced the TB but when testing the engine, he ran the engine with the garage door closed and started to become hallucinated!
5- Call us (Tom and Ray) when the water pump seized!
etc. etc.
