RE: [T3] VVERY SERIOUS !!! ENGINE FINALLY GOT SERIOUSLY SICK


I'd like to take a poll here.  I too own an Old Volvo (which is a secondary car, and no its not my wife's car... she has an Acura), so I'm curious how many VeeDubbers also drive/drove Volvos?

I know several other VeeDubbers who also own/owned a Volvo.  Something fishy is going on here.  I smell a conspiracy.

68 Notch and 86 Volvo (see?!  The years are transposed from one another. Conspiracy I tell you)
