Maybe Shatz. Maybe.

But I'll tell ya what. In my experience, your experience is the exception to end all exceptions. For every one 'Shatz' I know, I know 15 more who have been financially hurt, if not savaged, by that type of car.

I still have a few friends in the business (Volvo Dealer) who back up my assessment of that car 100%. I've even mentioned you to them. Their response is usually a shrug and "There are some...."

The trap I fell into... "I've already spent so much.... it is almost new anyway.... what am I going to do besides just fix it again.... I need to get my moneys worth out of it...." is a trap that any reasonable person could end up falling into. I would like to prevent that if possible, or at least offer a differing perspective.

As for "needing therapy".... you aren't the first to suggest that on this forum. I'm not entirely against it either. In fact, my "parts-buying" Master Card bill is due to arrive in a few days....... BRING ON THE THORAZINE DOCTOR!! I.V. PLEASE!
