Upon getting a 00 9-3 SE recently, my wife said "this is such a nice, quiet, smooth car...then glared at me and said...NOW DON'T YOU SCREW IT UP like you did with the "BOMB" (her affectionate name for my little, red 1994 900SE 5 spd coupe). She reminded me that my daily driver (the BOMB) is noisy, hard to shift, has a stiff clutch, rides like a truck and the em brake is hard to release. (She will not ride in the BOMB)
I was personally kind of proud with my "accomplishments" with the BOMB over the years, with the swaybar and Konis it handles better, with the MBC, Viggen IC, airbox mods and sports exhaust it is a lot quicker...but most women just do not understand nor appreciate these things.
I bought the 00 9-3 as a replacement for the BOMB, but truthfully, I rather prefer driving the BOMB and the BOMB just won't die so I am still driving it at 10 years or 134k...and I like the sound system better. My wife has moved all her crap into the pristine, black 9-3 and taken it over. She has no interest in her 01 Audi TT Roadster anymore. I guess I can take solace in the fact that she finally likes something cheap. Any one want and Audi?
