My favorite Saab was the only one I've had, the '83 900 that my family bought when I was 10.
It was a silver 900S - and was a followup to the orange ('73?) 99 my dad had.
I got it in '95, owned it to '04, it drove me and all I needed from WA to CA to my first job, and sent it away with 222k miles -
- with the key stuck in the ignition
- headliner drooping
- no AC or fan
- with the heater core bypassed because the connectors broke at the firewall
- with a knack for starting and running on 3 cylinders
- loved the manual sunroof
- it was pretty 'rustic'
- but never had a head gasket swap nor a transmission problem, and the clock still kept time.
And if I know now what I know then - and had a shop - and time, I'd probably still have it!
