looks nice...

Well, at least everyone agrees that my car looks good. The repair is going to cost more than I had hoped (surprise!). It turns out that the shift-lever assembly is shot. I tried to find a used one, but my model year was unique, and therefore they are very hard to find so I had to get a new one. Volvo parts are notoriously expensive (thank the Swedes and their high cost of living), so I am out a few hundred dollars. Ugh.
