Yep. I got a Saab 900 Turbo in the driveway now. Sadly it is behind the
Roc, the BiTurbo, and the Wabbit in terms of getting any lovin any time

Hey, I did the narcolepsy (sp) thing one night on the way to get some
chocolate cake (long story involving... never mind) and I killed a Honda

minus one headlight, drove home that same night, after I pulled the
fender off the tire.
