'new' Volvo 245 owner... any advice? 200 1988

Sean:

That was a very "wisdomatic" response, as a result, I must ask you a few "professional questions":
1: Since 89, we have owned a 240 (a total of three). We also have that XC70 we picked up new at the 240 birthplace in Gothenburg. Sadly though, we are now down to one 245.

2: I have rebuit/restored/resto-modded a 90 244 and a 92 245. Pics of the 245 are currently "gracing" the front page of the BB.

3: On rare occasion, the local Volvo Indy shop will call me for advice when they get a 240 in that has a "psycho" problem.

4: I buy Mann oil filters in bulk.

5: I have part of my paycheck direct deposited to FCP Groton and IPD (just kidding, but I was thinking about it!)

6: The most hated 240 question I have heard is: "Can you replace the blower motor for me??? PLEEZZEE"

7: For our anniversary and my Birthday, the Wife asks me what Volvo parts I need.

8: I'm thinking about starting a Volvo 240 rescue group, you know, like animal rescue that takes abused animals into custody and nurses them back to health.

9: My Wife prefers driving the 245 over the XC70.

Now for the questions:
1: Am I a brick addict?
2: Is there any known cure?

Any input that you can provide on this will be greatly appreciated.
