What's a saabnut to do? Have sitting in my garage my '85 900S, first car i ever bought (April 1994). It was "retired" when went overseas a bit, since been replaced by "new, speedy, reliable". Just a dang car, but hard to cut the cord. Whatever I know about repair and maintenance, this car taught me. Can't find the dang keys at the moment, trunk is full of rubbermaid containers of replacement parts i'd hoarded, factory manuals, etc. I reflect on all the neat little upgrades and updates she has that made her uniquely MINE (will spare you the litany). I swear to you, she was one of the nicest 8v on the road. But the unibody has some rust in the belly seams and inner fenders, and now she's sat for a few years more, and it's just not worth the money to me to restore a pokey 8v car. It's just a stupid car, but so many memories and am so torn. Ideally, would buy a late 80's turbo or spg, and transplant a bunch of stuff into it. But shoot, hard to justify that money and time, too. Half of me say's "just call the scrap car guy" and half of me says "just wait, maybe next year...."
