RE: Is a 98 Saab Convertible a good Teen Car?

Dwight,

I am about 40 years old, married, mortgage with 4 kids, and I drive a Saab
Turbo Convertible. I have had ten Saabs throughout my lifetime, and to me
and those whom I associate with, Saabs were always cool, are still cool now,
and will always be cool. When I am driving down the road with the top down,
I get stares from people driving everything from Chevettes to Corvettes.

The only difference is, I could care less! I buy Saabs because I like them,
and that is the name of that tune. I like the individuality. See, I also
own a Pug dog! Ha Ha! Hey, man... Find your own road...

AL

So true :-)

Basically Dwight we do not give a **** if anyone thinks the car is - or
is not - cool. We like so we buy it and drive it.

Every car has an image though. What are your alternatives?

I have a feeling Dwight you are too worried about what your friends will
think. Hey man, are you different enough to have a SAAB or are you going to
get a status symbol?

Regards
Charles

PS. I am not 18, there again I am on my 3rd SAAB. What does limp mean? ;-)

Welcome to the Club, Dwight. I didn't get bitten until I was 55.
