Psshhh you could probably make a killing selling that Ferd F-TeenThousand down where I'm from. Odds are you could get a nice chunk of change and be allowed to bang buck tooth'd Cletus's sister / cousin / aunt (there all the same lady)

But yes let me know when you are headed down and perhaps we go to the river trails or something

Just came back from some full throttle logging to help fine tune these injectors under higher load.

Replaced my non existent radiator bolt O.o noticed it was gone last time I had to hood open, so I snagged one from the jy over the weekend.

tried to replace the prndl bulb, only to realize the 5 I snagged over the weekend were all bad.... Awesome
Time to solder in an LED like I did on the 850.


few little touch up things getting ready for this weekend.

[DoriDori]

Needed to get my daily car mod fix in so snagged my grandparents old temporary tag from Sweden to put on the 850. This one came off a v70 they purchased and picked up from the Gothenburg factory in 2003. Get this, buy a Volvo from the factory with cash and Volvo will give you two round trip tickets to Sweden to pick up your new vehicle. They give you special tour of the factory and even a meal with other buyers. After your done touring Europe with your Volvo, they arrange all the logistics to ship the vehicle home and you pick it back up at your local dealer. It's a win-win because your new Volvo is considered a "used vehicle" once purchased and shipping it to the USA is cheaper for them. I've heard something that BMW offers a program like this too. Anyways, I found some rubber to line the plate to prevent vibration and damage to paint (my paint is awful anyways lol). Drew some simple measurements to align it and screwed it into the existing holes.






(say no to fake plates!)



( I need to make some adjustments to the redneck Passat lip too)

Yes. Gotta get the rear deck, headliner done, and other odds and ends, but I've got some things I would like to have done on the outside before Carlisle.

Found 100 octane at the pump and splurged on it. Smells so yummy, the next 150 miles will be fun.
