so quickly on the freeway. Had to be running very hot before you notice the shut done. did you lose a cam belt and destroy the heads?
I highly doubt your block is warped but Ari could chime in and tell of "true life" tales on this subject. Both heads are very posible.
sounds like to me you need a couple new heads and gaskets at best, still not cheap. V6 engines on ebay go cheap...and heads can be found too.
I noted what you said you paid for some replacment parts...high prices. you need to shop ebay more as DI cassettes for V6 are on there often and cheap!
New transmission in a 95? almost unheard of from what I've read...sounds like you have had horrible luck.
Curious do you do you drive this think like most kids your age? I'm not trying to be mean, just curious. I would never put my 18 year kid in my saabs, especially newer ones! keep them in the honda and ford escort...or like you said old school 900. I do drive calm in my 9000s (and now 9-5) and leave the crazy drving to our Boxster. I gave my old 9000T to a friends kid and the engine & trans were trashed in 6 months!
