Dear Eric:

You are right

Being a little young and stupid, sometimes I just say "%^&" it I will Tear it Down and REBUILD IT before I troubleshoot--so I have great rebuilding skills, terrible troubleshooting skills..Only altely after I bought a used Volvo 940 have I become patient and started to carefully toubleshoot because of the ECU's criticality

70% of the time its usually the best thing for long term success...I know that sounds very stupid and arrogant, I apologize. But if u think about it, its true. Regardless, the compressor can't last that much longer, nor can the Hi side hose (dry rot)--
Every summer I do mini overhauls--brake calipers, timing chains, cylinder head jobs, engines, because in the winter, when I need the car, i wont have the time/ weather to do it...

Since none of my cars has over cost >2000 dollars, I guess the cost in the long term is not that bad..

I guess why ZEN wise thats why I need AC
