nice. how many miles on it?

I hate Saab sticks... they've always confused me, valet parking. you have to lift up the ring below the shift knob to get it in reverse, and you have to leave the car in 1st gear in order to take the key out.

And that damn center console ignition... crazy swedes. I love how the new 9-7X (Trailblazer) has the ignition in the center console, with what is obviously a GM key... tacky tacky tacky.

83xxx miles on it, I'm second owner. The Saab dealer that sold must've loved the lady that bought it, anything they told her it needed got done. The trip meter shows it getting 23.4 mpg right now, and I've been hotdogging the hell out of it. Has a sport mode for the auto trans, and a winter mode. Only thing I haven't figured out how to reset is the calendar, it says April 13 right now, oh well. Doesn't have a CD changer so I can only play have one in at a time...
