Great drive in my 900s/ 100k miles of ownership (long)

I've been a little down on my '95 900s lately, as the suspension is begging to be replaced and I only ever drive it while commuting to work, which is 8 miles each way on surface streets through 29 stoplights which are usually red rather than green, which means the car is always stop and go, below 45 mph, getting lousy fuel economy. Whenever my wife and I go somewhere together we always take her 9-5 sedan which is much more luxurious and in better condition.
Yesterday I took the car on a business trip, driving from Portland (Oregon) to Seattle (180 miles each way) and back for a 2 hour meeting. On the nearly empty freeway northbound, the car cruised beautifully at 80 mph, unbothered by the occasional rain showers.
On the way up I turned 131,000 miles, and I realized that on the day I bought the car in 1996, it turned 31,000 miles. As of yesterday's trip I had driven the car for 100,000 of my own miles. On the open road, it is still a very comfortable and satisfying vehicle to own and to drive. Can't wait for another trip in the 900 now!
Happy saabing-
