Subject: Re: Cleanliness: How tidy is your Saab?


It's not like I've got chunks of old Whoopers on the floor and globs of mayo hanging from the ceiling. The thing about french fries is that the petrify very quickly, becoming essentially inert. Saabs were designed to collect unwanted substances, especially in and around the center console. I wonder how many gallons of root beer I've spilled down the ignition switch--a perfect central drainage point? I keep a can of silicone spray in the car just to keep that thing turning--seriously. Fortunately, it's so worn it tolerates a lot of gunk.
