This is truly a great car. Posted by Saana88 [Email] (#207) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saana88) on Fri, 4 Apr 2003 18:57:08 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Greetings from iced-over upstate NY. I've probably said this before; a 900 with four good tires (I'm running NordFrost 3s) just feels better. By the time I made it to school, I began to wonder what it is that Saab does differently. Looking around in the parking lot, I noticed that mine was the only car I could see with all its windows cleared off. Even worse were some of the other compacts with little portholes through the ice over the windshield. On the way home, again relying on the defroster (optomistic me left my ice scraper home, duhhhh...) I noticed that the car handled the slice (slush and ice combination) with confidence. Take a reasonable amount of care in turns and she sticks, push a little harder and you start to feel the edge. Just as I remember, you have to try to get her to break loose in braking. After running over a patch of slightly-icier-than-the-rest ice, lift the right foot slighly and steer. Is it the weight balance? Is it the tires? Is it the defroster? Is it the seat? Is it the shape? Why did they ever stop making these cars?
Thanks, Saab. I like my life too. (For the tires, that can be expanded to 'thanks, Sweden.')
Or, as the poster said, "Keep it in shape because we're not making this shape again." I plan to.
