Guess I tested out my car's potential.

Oddly, I've owned my SAAB Arc V6 for 2.5 years and have never floored the gas pedal. In fact, since I've owned it, the tach has maybe seen 4000 RPM a few times. I've had quite a few failures so I tend to drive my car very easy. Tonight we went and tested a 2008 Subaru Legacy GT Limited. The Salesman ran the crap out of a car with 8 miles on it! The Subbie was fast! Anyway, I got a jolt of the need-for-speed in my blood and jumped in the SAAB to leave the Dealer and once I got out on the road, I romped on my SAAB hard. The SAAB has a lot more guts than I expected, and it was 81 degrees outside which isn't the best environment for romping on it. Anyway I got to test out my new Turbocharger with only 300 miles on it, 67K on the car. Hopefully the 6000 RPM shifts didn't hurt it too bad? I've got Castrol Syntec 5w-40 Euro oil in my SAAB. Anyway, I need to drive it a little more aggressively if it can take it as IT WAS A BLAST! Go SAAB. Sorry to ramble on but I saw another (great) side of my car.
