Had a GREAT Saab encounter today! Posted by JeffC [Email] (#1740) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JeffC) on Fri, 21 May 2004 18:31:40 In Reply to: C'mon WAVE stoneface!, McTeague, Wed, 19 May 2004 20:24:47 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Small world...
So i'm driving home after having lunch with a friend, and I see my car's (near!) twin - another Black Aero! I pull up beside him and give him the thumbs up - I get a smile back... I stay with him for a while - and as we approach a red light with me behind him, I recognise the tailpipe - same chunk taken out of it as the '95 I test drove at a local dealer a couple of weeks before buying the '93 from LesH. So I get the chance to pull up beisde him - our windows go down... he says "Gee, that's a nice looking car!" I reply with "Sure is, and these SEATS! When'djya get it?" "Actually, just a few weeks ago." "The '95 from Morrey?" "Yeah!" "Isn't that funny - I test drove that car a couple of weeks before buying this one!" Light turns green... we drive for a bit more, eventually he pulls over into a parking lot so I followed and we had a bit of a conversation. Very nice gentleman - his first Saab, but he seems quite happy so far! I told him about SaabNet, so perhaps we'll see him.
All in all, a fun Aero encounter.
On a different note, I've been getting a lot of compliments at gas stations - particularly from the employees on the car - which I suppose is suitable now that I'm spending over $1.10/ltr on 94 octane fuel...euuuughh :)
