Went down to Holland today. What a disappointment. The only two rear drive Volvos (excepting a newer S80) were a couple of 940s, the one with a drivetrain was not a turbo, no oil filter plate. Couldn't find anything worth a damn in the full-sized Fords except a power steering cooler that didn't look too bad for $5. Also got a new armrest for my Subaru (thanks for wrecking that, boys)...but was popped $25 plus tax for those two little items. I used to walk out with both arms full of Merkur and/or Saab parts for $50.
Three hours later my amazing quick wit makes me wish I could go back and say, "If I wanted to pay that much, I would've just gone to Jack's!"
No Merkurs or north-south engine Saabs there, either. But there was an Olds Diesel sedan that appeared to have the remnants of an actual diesel engine in it, an Olds slope back hideous thing, and to top it off a 5 speed turbo Chrysler TC by Maserati!!!!
