Volvo's 10 year paint anniversary, and ... a breakdown

 

Facebook reminded me that the Volvo came out of paint shop in 2015... and now it is 2025. Can you spot the difference? :-)

Also, we were driving home from the cottage and, as always, worried about the car lasting to the end of the trip. It almost did, just few kilometers from home it refused to run. At an intersection. Fortunately we got to a bus stop. Starting the car was difficult, and if it started it would immediately stop running if we tried to engage a forward gear. Reversing was OK.. hmm.... 

Anyway, after few minutes the car agreed to run home just fine. Even more odd. It was raining heavily, so this could be humidity related.

Here's the comparison.

Left is 2015 when it was just re-painted due to rust, etc.

Right is 2025. Not waxed, etc., but still clean-ish.
