Volvo 240 - The car repairs itself 200 1989

I know we've all been singing the praises of our Bricks forever.
Here's something that really raises the bar on this:

My speedo stopped working while the odometer was fine.
I thought it was due to the unusually cold weather.
I was getting ready to get another instrument cluster, but
then about a month later, the speedo came back to life.
It's been working great now for a few weeks.

Here another:
My front tire had a slow air leak. It was annoying to pump it every couple
of days. I checked all around using soap bubbles but could not find the leak.
Guess what... about a week ago the tire stopped leaking.

Moral of the story:
These cars have a soul and will treat us well if we take care of them.
