It's either embracing the president's society of ownership platform, or just realizing I really don't need to be spending buckets and buckets of money on a shiny new car when my commute is less than two miles: Burnlab HQ has a fancy new set of wheels in the form of an '89 Saab 900 SPG. It's my third classic 900, and a serious collector's item among Saab geeks (only 841 were imported in 1989... considering probably 800 of those went to New England it's quite a find, all of which in Edwardian Grey with a Garrett H20 turbocharger, special Performance Group suspension, and all the goodies of the era.) The thing is faster and more nimble than most modern cars, despite an odometer reading of twohundredfourteenthousand miles(!) The '04 was an awesome piece of Swedish engineering, but this somehow a lot cooler...
