Hey philvo--

Hell, I make it a point to frequent garages without lifts. My favorite guy for stickers almost never uses his lift, employs "mood lighting", and will let minor things (like the e-brake) slide if you promise to fix them ASAP...sure, no problem *wink*

Don't get me wrong, I don't wanna be killed by an unsafe vehicle, but c'mon!

I guess we know the "folk wisdom" about Volvos in snow is false, huh? Doesn't it snow a bit in Sweden? I drove my '84 244 all last winter without benefit of snowtires. I only "crashed" once, during a back-road "handling experiment". She came down off of the snowbank under her own power.

Incidentally, my girlfriend is driving a '91 Buick; the previous owner had filled bad rockers with that foam crap. Its a pain in the ass to clean up!

Later,
Matt
1978 244 (Katharine)
1984 244 (Gretchen, RIP)
