Bob,
I feel your pain (kinda). I got a speeding ticket when I was 16 (seven years ago, though), for 61 in a 45 zone. Not quite 90 in a 65, but enough so that I learned to slow down...for a time. But that ticket was in my family's 1986 Honda Accord, which wasn't even the fuel injected model--it had the 2-bbl. carb! OK, enough non-SAAB stuff...
While your 900T is "down," you might want to look into these items:
1) brake fluid flush (easy on ABS 900s, I'm told, for rear brakes anyway)
2) Coolant flush (& refill with Mercedes-Benz anticorrosion/antifreeze)
3) New thermostat (this and #2 if not done in past 2 years)
4) New wiper blades (if more than one year old)
5) Check spark plug condition (color and gap)
6) Check distributor cap for cracks/carbon tracks (black hairlines)
7) Check distributor rotor for pitting/erosion of end and "button" contact
8) Check condition of drivebelts (for tension, cracking, or glazing)
9) Check operation of all lights (headlights, t. signals, tail/brake/"third" brake/backup lights)
10) Top up all fluids (engine & trans. oil, coolant, brake, windshield washer, power steering)
11) Wash and wax car
12) Check tire pressures, including spare tire
13) Check steering and CV joint boots for tears, get replaced if needed
14) Check operation of heated seats?
Hope this list helps!
