Wow! > > Duane > Well, I got tired of being fucked over by Saab Dealerships; after driving Saabs for 12 years, I grew weary of their shit (especially just after the GM takeover and most of the dealers refused to honor the warranty). I found the Oldsmobile to be a very agile, almost Saab-like car to drive. (Though I truly miss the manual gearbox.) The last Saab I owned - an 89 900S - made 40 trips to dealerships from 89-93. The Olds has only been in the shop once for anything other than normal maintenance - a blown trans-cooler line - in the five years I've owned it. I may be a dork for driving an Oldsmobile, but Duane, you need to get that stick out of your ass and realize that Saab and Olds are made by the same company and the new 900/9-3 is just a warmed-over, rebadged Opel. -- - goblin
