Have you noticed that there seems to be an unusual number of accidents reported lately on The Saab Network?

Today I fell casualty to a driver who turned right on red directly into the left hand lane, right when I was entering the intersection in the left lane. I had the choice of hitting her or getting stuffed under a semi-tractor trailer. I choose the car and wound up with a near at highway speed collision. Actually I was forced to put in a lot of right steering to force her car over so I didn’t get run under the truck. I can thank Saab’s engineers that I came out of this without a scratch.

The Viggen on the other hand is toast. The right hand wheel was torn right off of the car and stuffed into the fender well pushing back the A-pillar, right door, rear fender. Parts that come to mind are the: sub-frame, wheel, tire, control arms, ball joints, roll bar, fender, intake & resonator box (bet you didn’t know this was hiding in the fender), rack & arm, grill, bumper, and on and on….

So what car do you think I should buy to replace my ’99 Viggen?

P.S.

The other driver was cited for improper lane usage. Dah!
