That’s a Saaaab! I had a friend who went out to Minneapolis for school with his old Saab. He found a mechanic named Scab Dover.
Here’s my exciting ride for the next few days!

^ Oh Fun ! Are you moving ? Or just thinking of getting a ride with a tad more interior space.
Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.

A decade ago my wife and I flew to Denver to visit family for a holiday weekend. At the airport we learned EVERYONE had rented all their cars. We were considering what we could do when my wife said we could rent a cargo truck. So I called Arvada truck rental place and yes they had trucks.
We got a taxi across town to the truck rental place and drove the truck for a day. Then we rented a PT Cruiser from a west side place for a couple days. The trip back to the airport was by shuttle van.
It all worked out with Magic Fixit Card.

No more Saaab stories….
Ran into a young guy with a tuned Saabat the gas station. We had a really good local dealer here inAlbany, the Carl Brothers. I bought a 1996 red convertible from them in 2000 or so , drove it for 5 years. It turned into aRaceBeetle when I saw a rollover on the MassPike and realized I shouldn’t be highway driving it with children

MGA Twin Cam, it's on BaT but this is one of the best driving videos I've seen in a while.
It made $80k on there in '19, we'll see how it does this time. Went over $40k almost immediately.
