    Good looking car.

    Thinking of Saabs, parts and repair would be my major concern. Since they are no more.

    True, the engine is a Fiat unit though, massive saving on the new price.

    OK. That would alleviate the big concerns I'd have.

    Probably Sherm drives some Ford pickup. I doubt he even knows what these euro-Fords look like, Fiesta/Focus/Escort/Mondeo/Cortina/Anglia/Capri etc.

    Trying to pick out a restaurant to go to for lunch on Saturday. I can't pick between pizza (Mellow Mushroom), BBQ (a local place called Big Daddy's. It's in the ghetto though), or maybe a Japanese Steak House (Sake Sushi).

    All I know Ford makes is F-150s, Mustangs, Explorers, and their new Police Interceptors.

    IIRC Saab stated that spare parts will be available for another 10 or so years when they went under.

    Last time I had KFC I thought I was never going to get over cold sweats. Fat and grease is bad, m'kay.

    You need some extra fiber with the excess grease. Some crushed psilium seed fiber (or metamucil) mixed in a large glass of water afterwards. Helps out with that.

    The Focus and Escort were the same in America and released here first unless I am mistaken.
    The Mondeo is a pretty nice car though.

    Those folks have little, winding streets from the medieval period. They need the itty bitty cars. We need to haul our guns.
