First off... Lighten up Poindexter. I was just trying to inject a small piece of humor into this group. I'm sorry if I offended you, but I did say (Sorry - Couldn't resist) at the end of my post. I was in a froggy kind of mood... So be it. It's nice to see that you took the time to call me a "complete fucking idiot" and "Dipshit", but didn't help the original poster either. Your post was as much of a "rant of unhelpful verbal diarrhea" than mine was. At least mine was funny (or I thought so -;P). I obviously made you so mad that you forgot basic grammar and spelling ("diarrhoea" - don't you get that from relations with your sister?). Perhaps you are the fucking idiot. Who knows? Anyhoo, I apologize if I offended anyone else. Hopefully I will be able to contribute more "helpful" things in the future. I'm new to this SAAB thing and don't want to piss *everyone* off, but as I learn about this charmingly backward (no offense - just compared to all my other vehicles) vehicle I'm sure I will have alot of things to add. I will try to keep any humor to a minimum so I don't get cut off at the knees again. -Jeff '91 C900 '91 Escort GT '93 5.0GT '00 ZX2 S/R "JamesC" <swizzledizzlenopsamnizzle.com> wrote in news:YFpOa.94143$2ay.7090nopsam01.bloor.is.net.cable.rogers.com: > Wow, you sound like a complete fucking idiot.
