In the midst of the wonderful financial crisis and the shadow of GM coming undone, I have done the unthinkable. That’s right, I bought a new car. In my defense, the 98 Lincoln I was driving couldn’t pass inspection and needed a lot more money thrown at it to have the work done that would put her back into play, so I splurged. I think Saab 9.3’s are my one weakness. When the blue paint stared me in the eyes, the financial crisis was but an after-thought. Now I just need GM to stay in business long enough to honor my warranty.

Let’s look at some specs for my 2006 Saab 9.3:
