A sad day... goodbye to my 900SE

Most importantly, I want to thank everyone who has contributed here - this is an OUTSTANDING resource that has helped me greatly over the years. Postings here have helped me solve many problems both large & small and, more importantly, helped me avoid making mi$$$takes.
But it has come time for me to say goodbye to my trusty 1996 900SE turbo coupe. It was an important part of my family for many years, doing yeoman's work transporting kids & their stuff to & from college, and hauling the stuff for many home improvement projects. But at 150k miles it is time to move on.
I still think this car was the best combination of performance, economy and utility ever made, and I would be buying another Saab if they still had a car like it. Before this Saab, I never thought I could get so emotionally attached to a car.
I will miss it greatly, but I hope to be back to Saabs when the "Saabness" returns, and if Saab survives.
Between myself, family & friends, we've owned Triumphs, Alfa Romeos, Fiats, Renaults, Peugeots, Oldsmobiles, Plymouths, and Saturns. I sincerely hope Saab does not go the way those companies did in the US market, but I can't ignore the possibility.
I seriously considered a 2007 CPO 9-3 Anniversary edition, and really liked it, but there is a glut of high-end CPO cars of various brands on the market right now.
Goodbye & good luck.
