Hey, do you know how difficult owning saabs in canada?

It's mighty hard. Parts are about 2-3 times more expensive (not all, but certainly most) and I have to drive down the border EVERY damn time I want to buy something from the states, because well, let's simply say cross border shopping isn't as friendly as it should be. Yes, crossing the border is not pleasant deal, and is very hard on me since I love my red Viggen and HATE it when one of those dimwits abuses their power and searches my car, which is why I rarely cross the border for just an hour or so. I make sure to go for a day or more, though it doesn't always work. There IS no dealer in Ottawa, where I live. If I was a regular Joe, I'd have switched to another brand, but I can't. I'm locked in, I love Saab and I'm here to stay. Unfortunately, not all owners are like me and the company must realize that.
JohnA, the Spyker dealer in Calgary is no use to me, 3000 km away. Thanks for trying, but they DO seem to completely forget Canada. I'm with you on this one TML.
Bender.
