So The V70R is to the off to the shop this Monday for about a week, so I will back to daily driving a 1991 Volvo that’s been striped down, so that will be fun! So the series of supperlegga videos next week will be a little different. Driving a car that’s been mostly striped. So what do you all want to see from that?

So go check out those videos on our fairly new YouTube account.

Also I was thinking of making the title “It was the best of times, it was the blorst of times? Stupid monkey!” But I'm not sure everyone would get the reference.

Also OppOmeet is currently voting on dates! So get over there and vote.

Good luck daily driving the stripped out blue car. Does it have a/c and heater?

Perhaps you should get them repaired since you seem to be driving it an awful lot...and besides, who says you can’t have creature comforts in an autocross machine?

I'm thinking of ripping of the ac system, the heater works... Eventually, so it will be fine in a DC winter, just have to suffer for a bit with the loud screech of the fan as it attempts to get working for the first few minutes.

This makes me miss my 1990 765 Turbo a bit.

Fun fact: I had that Volvo for nearly 8 years. I sold it in April, and since April I’ve bought 3 Mazdas. I don’t know what that means exactly, maybe something about trying to find a new car to fill its place and being less than satisfied? Though I bought my wife the CX-5, which I’d take an exact copy of myself, TBH.

Back to old Volvos, I still have one or two MANN oil filters and an air filter kicking around. Yours for the shipping if you want.
