Ever have 2nd thoughts about big decisions you've made about your life? A little history.... When I get to the end of my grade 10 year, my dad pulled me aside & said "Well, seeing as you're going into the TV industry, what you need is experience, not a matric (grd 12), so you don't have to go back to school next year & I'll train you."

I have recently bought (within about a month) a 1998 S70 base model. Ok, so on the new car, the idling was always a *teeny tiny teensy* bit rough (was eventually going to get to that) - after a day's trip to Atlanta (from Nashville) and back, something is wrong with the car!!

Makes them nice and responsive (one touch to stop!
Ok - an update on my situation: 1. I talked to a parts guy at the Volvo dealership (both of them in my area are pretty nice - Nashville and Franklin, the one I was at) and when I described what was happening to my car (the choking, uneven boat engine sound of the engine, the shimmying, and the gas mileage, and the smell) he said that his wife's volvo's ECT fuel sensor (something that sounded like this) had gone out and that was kinda what her car was doing until they replaced it... he said that
