A tough Saab decision..

Hi guys,
So, I've been a saab guy since my first car at 16, which I still have, an 85 900t. Along the way I picked up an 88 Tbird turbocoupe and an 85 Rx-7 to tinker with. When I got out of college and landed a job, I was in the market for something reliable that I could drive every day, like a nice used 9-3 or 9-5, when the opportunity to buy a Viggen dropped into my lap (and budget). So, like a good Saab head, I picked it up and have loved it ever since (been about 2 years now). The thing is, I have enough project cars to spend my time on, and I just feel awful driving this car 5 days a week, down nasty roads and sitting in traffic. I maintain it meticulously and keep it waxed, but it just feels like such a waste. What a blast on the weekends though - this is probably the best all around car I've ever driven. So, my fiance says that I should get a more sensible car, but I have to get rid of the Viggen, and my sensible side agrees, though it breaks my heart. I guess I could find a nice 93SS, and I'm sure I'd be happy..but will I always miss the Viggen? I'm sure we've all had to make decisions like this, and I know that a lot of people don't understand how someone can be so attached to their cars. Anyway, just letting off some frustrations. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and thanks!
