Talking New Volvo owner in the DMV

Evening everybody,
1st time posting, and 1st time owning a Volvo.
I own a 2000 S70, N/A, 5 speed. I drive about 250 miles a day, in what is arguable some of the worst traffic in the nation (Maryland, DC, and Northern VA).
I started to make her mine by adding things that make it more comfortable for me (i.e. information center cluster, new(er) seats, etc..). The wife just see another car I'm spending more money on. I alsoown a 2002 Harley Davidson F150 (S/C 2.4 Whipple, long tube headers, Stage II heads, etc), and a 2003 Mustang Cobra (Kenne Bell, and WAY too much to list).

/R
JJ

I'm at about 169k. The timing belt was done at 125k, I just did plugs (Bosch platinum 4's), air filter, full synthetic, cleaned the TB, and Sea Foamed the PVC.

I need to repair the exhaust now, the front (up stream) O2 bung blew off w/ the O2 in it. I couldn't get the O2 and the bung separated, so I tacked welded it back in as one to get going again. I order a new pipe w/ Cat but the collector flange is wrong. It looks like in late 00, the flange was changed to a square one...

Semper Fi,
JJ
