HA, ha, no, she actually likes the car. With 70k miles worth of experience under my belt with the '95 I'm hoping to stay one jump ahead of the breakdowns on hers. Hey, the '95 only stranded me once, and that was when the DI went out. I was really hoping to find a '98-'00 5 door, but this '96 was the only thing within a 3-4 hour drive and I didn't have time to go chasing cars every weekend.
My preventative maint. so far has been new plugs, idler pulley, thermostat and the DIC. I just put 0W-40 Mobil 1 in it yesterday. Brakes are fine, clutch is new, tires are new..hopefully that will be enough. We were considering a new Accord or preferably a Mazda 6 hatch, but even at a grand a year in maint.for the Saab, she can drive this thing for three years before our total investment aproaches the depreciation on a new Accord.
As far as keeping her happy, well, her Miata sits undriven in the garage while my car sits outside. She loves the Miata, but we've only put around 7k miles on it in a year and a half.
Happy New Year!
Mike
