but then I saw Gabor's, and that sums it up as well as it can be summed up.
I think Consumer's Reports are for (1) People who know nothing and have absolutely no friends thay can ask for recommendations or (2) People who have no friends whom they can ask for recommendations and know absolutely nothing about anything or (3) Obsessive anal retentive nerds.
A former co-worker once complained that the lawnmower he bought on the strength of a Consumer's Reports recommendation was really not very good. I just looked at him and said, "Why the F*** would you buy something based on what CR says? The guy who wrote the lawnmower report probably lives in an apartment in Manhattan!" I wasn't kidding.
If you're reading CR, my opinion is a SAAB is probably not a good fit for you. You would probably be much happier with a Lexus, or even a Toyota. You'd never enjoy figuring out what is wrong with your car in the way the rest of us do. So, in our own way, we are obsessive anal retentive nerds, too.
