Well guys and gals, this is it. My 240 just left for it's new owner's house. We were given an '01 Civic with just 65,000 miles and just bought an '04 Odyssey so there's no room for the Volvo. I can't thank you guys enough for all of the tips and tricks I've learned from you since joining this community. I couldn't have kept it on the road without you. I was thinking this afternoon on the way back from the bank as I passed a beautiful, gold 240 sedan, these Hondas just don't have the character as those old Volvos. The girlfriend of the guy that bought our 240 said, "this is the ugliest car I've ever seen." To each their own. Farewell friends, may the roads be smooth, the traffic lights be green, and the fuel level gauge always work like it's supposed to. John
