Where did you read that? As he said Saab are not cheap to keep unless you have plenty of time or is a mechanical genius. The other side to this argument is that Saabs are durable so expensive repairs are rare. I'm very fuzzy about my Saab, the smallest problem spoils my enjoyment, so I rather keep it in decent order; if it ain't broke - don't fix it. Others are more adventurous and like to tinker with chips, boost, springs, shocks, wheels, tires, skirts, wings, stripes and what not. But first things first; if the car is a duff, then no stripes will help you. Err, I did get low profile wheels and tires, somewhat out of character. Johannes
