Spent a Summer in Putney VT. at a music camp. One of the guys had a 2stroke '95. Also I caught a ride with a guy across a mountain ridge on a one lane dirt road in a 96 2 stroke. I had driven a lot of dirt roads, but never had the back end of my car hanging over the edge of a 100ft drop off. Scared the stuff out of me! but developed a strong respect. Finally picked up my first Saab, a '74 99 in '79. Been a Saab owner since, and when I married sold my wife on Saab too. Learned a lot about home repairs by necessity. Locals couldn't fix.
Got hooked by sensible features. Lots of well thought out features! Not bells and whistles - more practical. And luxury. The heated driver seat in the Winter was a joy. Loved the Wagonback! Could carry anything.
