I've tried Castrol but it didn' eliminate my rough shifts. I changed to Valvoline MaxLife and it was amazing. No more hard shifts. Very good fluid. I think it's semi synthetic.

I wish I was that way. If one thing on my car isn't how it's supposed to be, I can't stop thinking about it, even if it's under the hood, under the bumper, etc.

Scotch lock?

Edit: Oh, haha. I like using them. They can be a little bulky, but I like it for the most part.

But it will allow water to get into the wires and wipe them out.
I have seen many many bad connections through them.

I've seen a sedan with one mudflap on . On Volvospeed, the guy with the S70, Danny, has rear mudflaps. Mine's kinda like his.

Wow, these are a pain to put on. They're made so they fit both 93 rear bumpers and our current ones, so they don't line up correctly... Figured out a way to do it thougH!
