I think I will sleep a little better today. I just came back from gym, some of my friends wanted to see the car and all of them were pretty impressed. I gave a ride hone to one of them, and on the way there he asked me: “what is this little S button for?”. Well, needless to say, I showed him. You should have seen him grabbing the seat on the turn!
It is a wonderful car, and all the features are pretty impressive (too bad the SID will probably turn off soon, but for now it works perfect <knock on wood>). Especially that until last week I used to drive a 92 camry (V6 though, so still had some kick). My dream was to have something powerful with an automatic climate control (hmm, wonder when the doors from this one will break).
I’ve been drive it for a week and I love it! I guess, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. If you want all the luxuries (ACC, heated seats, turbo, computer, etc.), you need to pay to keep them working. For now I only needed to replace engine mount and wiper motor (they were stopping in the middle). There is a great guy here in Charlottesville, VA, who has an indy car shop and he only works on Saabs. He has 2 huge parking lots with like 150 of them! (no kidding, I tried to count!). Old, broken, crashed, all kinds, all models, all years. He is not cheap, but not expensive (dealer!) either. For an engine mount replacement (new parts + labor), tire balance, and wiper motor (used + labor) he charged $390. I’m hoping to develop a good relationship with him, as well as with you guys ;-). I’ll be posting every now and then, and we’ll see how my relationship with Saab will develop. Maybe it will be a long and fruitful one (hope so !!!), or maybe a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Time will tell. For now I will enjoy driving it (can’t wait to try and smoke somebody from traffic lights) and keep watching those pixels…
Thank you all for support!
Marcin
