Yeay! I (with the help of my dad and my boyfriend) fixed a bunch of stuff, so, I can cross off the air pump, valve and gasket, tranny flush and also the dash and radio lights!! Amazingly, the door rattling went away on its own.. maybe I scared it away with my threats.

Alas, though two more things I will have to add. The left side panels (on driver and rear passenger doors) have started to infamously bubble. I will try to fix this myself with help from the family, but we'll see.

So my NEW list of to do's (in order of importance) is:

1. Clean throttle body. I'm having the slightest rough idleing, especially when I stop... like something is clogged, but it's not bad. I really should clean this, but I'm not sure exactly how to go about this without taking it to the dealer.

2. Spark plug wires, rotor, & distributor. (Got new plugs....need to get on the rest of it!!)

2. Driver side passenger door lock - won't pop up when I use the remote - won't pop up at all, you have to manually pull it to unlock the door. I like to put my book bag in the seat behind me and I can't do this yet. Arg. I'm pretty sure it's the Red Evil Plastic Lever (REPL) that Bay 13 (volvospeed.com) so lovingly described. It's fixable as long as I take my time (patience is key)! It'll save me $90.

3. Brake Service - My dad is AWESOME at this. I can't wait to have his trademark brake service. Makes them nice and responsive (one touch to stop!) and not kinda muggy, like they are now. They're not awful, but I would like him do get to this.

4. Front passenger door light cover. Must've slammed onto the seat belt buckle and chipped. Just another small, cosmetic thing.

5. Drink holder between fron seats. One of the rings are missing. Found some replacements on ebay, for about $45.

6. Dent by the trunk on the top side panel. Not too bad, but a pet peeve of mine. My boyfriend's brother knows how to paint... but I might take it to get it done at a paint place. You know what they say about family and business. I rather be mad at someone I don't know.

7. I'd like to add a cargo net to my trunk. It'd be cool! Don't know how I will anchor it in, though. <_<
