First..thanks for the replies. I can't imagine hitting the switch enough to turn the car off...however, while I was moving I did try and restart..engage, reengage the clutch...like a stall, and that didn't work as well. Thus...some sort of electrical fault definitely seems to be the case, just wasn't sure if the DI Cassette would do that. My wife was reading something, and I had both hands on the wheel..as you should at 80mpg. So that rules out our hands "hitting the ignition." As well there was nothing in between setting on the key. This is my third Saab in 12 years, so no offence taken for the remark..but, I'm quite familiar in keeping thing such as waterbottles and such out of that area of the car. I had one friend once spill some Coke when borrowing my 86' turbo. After having to replace all the window switches...I learned my lesson about liquids near the ignition.
It definitely smells electrical to me. Dean..thanks for the starter hint. I've got to go over to Mile High this week to get a antenna looked at so, I'll ask them about a possible preventative fix.
Thanks again....
