I have to ask Flying Dutchman--your signature boasts that you sold your Volvo due to astronomical repairs. Do you have any other Volvos? If not, why do you spend so much time posting to this message board??? We're all sorry about your miserable experience, but you seem to be having trouble letting go. I'd suggest you take a deep breath, and then take a nice relaxing road trip down the west coast in your Ford. You will feel better, and some time away from the computer would do you some good!

I'd also recommend this to any other posters who seem obsessed with their bad Volvo experience. Some of you guys provide some really good advice to myself and others on Volvo problems. I appreciate it. But some of you whine so much that reading this message board is becoming pretty tiresome.

I've owned Volvos for 15 years now and have had a great experience. But if I ever become disenchanted with Volvos, I'll proably do the logical thing and delete the Brickboard from my bookmarks and move on with life. Some of you should consider doing the same.
