After a spirited ride to the group photo and back? Get your checkbook out and make me an offer.:)...j/k.....I got a pink slip this morning....though it may be only a short lived vacation.

The 73 ran great on the way home....it loves to cruise above 4k rpm's...anything less and it gives an occasional fart...just accelerate and it goes away...idosincracy of d-jet....but ya gotta love the peppy response when you hit the throttle..:)

It also doesn't like to stop for gas after running 150 plus miles...tends to get vapor lock and you have to push the throttle all the way to the floor to get it to fire...220 miles from home it got flooded. Thankfully fellow Ohio Saaber Tom Carmean was also stopped at the rest stop and he helped me push it away from the pump. I let is sit for five minutes and cranked it again...it finally started and ran flawlessly the rest of the way home.

Other than Saturday nights long drawn out banquet, I had a blast....I spent a total of 17 hours in the hotel room for those three nights. I had to be outside BSing and sucking in as much Saab as I could....but I can tell you I did way too much pavement pounding and my calves are paying for it this morning. Maybe I need to get a pair of shoes like yours, Scott.hahaha.:P
