"what i've found with saab mechs, re your words, is that they start with the most obvious part and just keep replacing parts until you have a new saab and the problem is gone (usually). they seem to have a clear conscience because the parts would have gone someday anyway, and charging what they charge for labor, they figure better off replace it now while its semi-apart and save you some future labor charges..."
That is the most hilarious description of a saab mechanic i have ever heard! Which i'm sure you and i will both get "yelled at" for that on here... but anyways... That completely and totally 100% positively absolUTELy describes my experience with every saab mechanic I'VE ever had, including the $80 an hour one in orlando, FL, this last year.

I'm rolling on the floor laughing right now... that was great.... I think for us saab owners, we have to just keep laughing about the plights of old cars to keep from going postal... lil tidbits like that one definately help me out... and everyone you can be sure the comment was made "all in good fun" OKAY?!? ;)
