Volvo for Life...

... because you put so much money into it, you can't bring yourself to selling it! Well this was a bad week for my car. What started out as a routine 120,000-mile maintenance check, turned into a tow back to the dealership. They tightened one of the seals too tight causing a pucker in the oil seal. There wasn't a sign of the damage until a day (and an empty oil tank) later. Good thing we will be tearing out the driveway eventually. Nice stain! Anyway, we had to get it towed back to the dealership to fix the damages. What a pain. Oh, and nice of them to pick up the tab (hint of sarcasm) ... we had to push the car up a slope in the back yard to get it pointing forward for the tow. I had a skirt on, and Tracy pulled a muscle in his back. We were both an hour late for work. But enough complaining. We are lucky to have a car. All is well at the end of the day.

Cut your losses. Get a Subaru, or a good used Jeep Cherokee, both are proven reliable vehicles.
