The thing I love most is County Road M in Morgan County, Missouri on the way to and from my cabin. If I ever get caught I will surely go to jail. The car handles like a dream except for the one really off camber left hand turn where V road intersects with M road (Pettis County, Missouri).

I love the 30ish MPG I get with my stick on the '94 N/A. I love even more the extra horsepower with the turbo (although lower MPG) on the '96 when I go to pass the minivan with the cripple plates on the lake highways. Hopefully this week I get my new front struts and the turbo will handle much better and along with the new axles and spring seats make a heck of a lot less noise.

I love that there isn't a heck of a lot that I can't figure out on my own to fix the buggers.

I guess I love that the parts cost less than my daughter's Porsche - dang they (The Volvo parts) are expensive though. I bought a new caliper for my Suburban for $18.00 last weekend. I think the caliper was OK but I broke off the bleeder screw after I changed the master cylinder and $18.00 was less grief than trying to easyout the old bleeder screw.

Once the car gets through all of the standard broken crap and stage 0 it will run forever.

I think most of all I love the support groups that we have. You are not the first one to have the problem and on most boards folks will share their experiences freely without a ton of flaming.
