You know what Frank? This exchange reminds me of the kind of scolding a parent gives a child, "You keep on doing that and _________ will happen to you, I'm warning you, don't make me say I-told-you-so!"

Maybe it's true that you are a Volvo Tech and you've seen problems with S80's. Does that mean I need to run out the door right away and sell my S80 immediately? Does that mean my S80's transmission, electrical system, lights and sunroof are all going to fail simulataneously? Seems like a knee-jerk reaction to some known problems which are probably rectified in most cases.

I've looked at many sources of data concerning the S80 (I'm a systems safety analyst by profession). I understand all-too-well the mechanical issues pertaining to the S80. It's also very clear to me that there are some high failure items on this particular model, as you've ensured through your many posts, over and over again, that all people remotely associated with Volvo's are informed of.

Personally, I've accepted this and I am willing to live with these limitations without the need of a certain Volvo Tech named Frank running around me in circles chanting "I-told-you-so-I-told-you-so-I-told-you-so...."

You go off and enjoy your pre-98 RWD and allow us S80 owners to enjoy ours. Your non-S80-owner opinions are not desired nor welcome here.

Good day!
