I currently have a '93 TC and there's nothing like having the top down. Here in Michigan I use it even in the winter--on sunny days.The secret to driving with the top down in weather that's either too hot or too cold is to leave the windows up. The only problem with convertibles is that the sun is pretty tough on the top--a garage or cover would help a lot. As for working on your own car, the real key to doing so successfully is knowing when to do it yourself and when pay the professionals. I would start out with routine maintenance like oil changes, then work your way up to full-fledged tuneups. When something new comes up, walk your way through it in the Bentley, then ask for opinions on this board if it's a "do it yourself" project. If you feel comfortable with it, give it a shot, if you don't pay the pros. A pretty basic set of tools will cover most things, then slowly buy tools as needed for specific jobs. Don't dive in the deep end of the pool right away--Saabs are a bit trickier than most cars.
