Just kidding. I have made a dozen cross-country trips in Saabs. I have only had two incidents:
1. Rough running engine developed in the middle of nowhere, and I mean NOWHERE, 91 9000T. 30 or 40 miles down the road, encountered a combination general store/motel/taxidermist/Chevron station. One bottle of Techroline and 2 miles later, no more problem.
2. Deer and car occupied same space at same time, right at dusk, less than 10 miles from my planned stopping place. Incident was fatal to both the deer and the car, a 92 9000T (with healthy TCS).
In my experience, Saabs are at least as reliable as any other car, assuming normal care and maintenance.
Have a good trip.
