Wow...can't believe it!

I can't believe that the time has finally come when it simply does not make any more financial sense to keep my beloved 99 9-3. The cost of keeping it running like new along with depreciation makes leasing a new car much more sensible. When I realized this last Friday, I was so distraught that I had to curl up in bed right after work to keep my head from spinning.
As much as I try to keep an open mind, I still have not found anything that can top a 9-3. In fact, I like my raggedy old car much more than most cars I test drive. I am scheduled to test drive the Audi A3 this weekend, and possibly the Volvo S40, although my heart is pretty much set on a Parchment 9-3 Arc.
Now the big thing for me is that I have been very inspired lately by many people to switch from an automatic to a manual. To say that I'm apprehensive is an understatement. I'm terrified that I will be stuck in traffic one day and shoot myself. But then again, I also feel that I will finally be respected as a true car nut.
If I get another Saab, I think my mother will be very jealous. She went from a Mazda MPV to a 9-3 Arc just last year. Then again, next year, she'll probably lease another one, and it will be my turn to be jealous.
Well, just thought I'd share my attachment to Saabs here, since there is no other place to find such a dedicated group of Saab lovers. Cheers!
