The Volvo lost dash illumination, as well as HVAC illumination today. I think I can say with 99% certainty that the issue is a faulty rheostat dimmer switch, which I can find on ebay cheap, and replace in minutes.

See?! EASY.

Why do I get the feeling I’m going to be intimately familiar with all of the minor issues that 850's can experience? I say “minor issues” because that’s about the level which I feel like I can take care of on my own, not because I don’t think I’ll run into bigger problems.

As the former owner of a number of 70s and 80s era British and Russian vehicles...your intuition is spot on.

It’s a Volvo, you’re going to know all of it.

Hey now you can say:  It’s a Volvo thing you wouldn’t understand.

This has taught me a valuable lesson.

Miatas were designed incredibly well

I'm hoping not to go bankrupt, because I'd really like to pick up a mountain bike this winter

Come down and borrow mine! I'll rent! If you like it, you can buy it! I keep thinking of getting a new one again anyways.

Now that is an idea. I think at this point I've got about ten different reasons to head to Portland. Really got to free up the schedule a bit...
