    I got the Festiva from a co-worker for $500 with a busted winshield...a little over $2000 in parts got it running with double its stock horsepower and 50 mpg on the highway. Its running like crud now because it desperately needs a tune up . I feel so bad abusing my little car...Ive put more miles on it in the last 8 months than I have in the past couple of years .

    Saabs are good cars, Abbygirl. Its just a pain in the butt getting parts

    Sectumsempra:

    1994 Jeep Cherokee

    Notice the unfortunate lack of luggage rack most Cherokees have, and the dent in the front. (I, um, did that. ) She also gets about 15mpg.
    My step-dad gave her to me. He bought her new in '94.

    If I could, I'd trade her for this as long as it was running!

    I had a 90 2 door Larado, with a modified roof rack for my little raft.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Yeah, my Saab is a great car. My alternator went out in April I think, and they couldn't find one anywhere in town, so I ended up paying $500 to get it fixed. And as of right now, I have a blown engine seal, so my car leaks oil like a sieve (I get oil changes every 1.5-2 months instead of 3) AND horrible shocks. Both are around $500-$600 to fix, and I just don't have the money. But it hasn't given me problems otherwise... lol.

    Blue, my curret ride right now is a dark gray 2007 Chevy cobalt. It has 9672 miles on it. It's running great and and no problems since new, except for some mice getting in and chewing on some vital wiring! No pics yet. Blue, I would LOVE to own my brother's totally original 1967 Shelby mustang GT 500!

    DJF, I'm glad to see the blue pill is still among the living. That car has had more lives than a cat!

    Indeed it does! The check engine light is coming on when I go over 55 now...which means she needs a new O2 sensor, plugs and wires (probibly a cap and rotor too )
    She needs an oil change too now that I think about it. Sigh...

    Oyster, my first car was a 96 Cherokee sport. It wasn't 4wd and someone dropped a high performance motor into it so it would go REALLY fast! I got pulled over once when a cop PACED me at 160
    Acording to his radar I passed him at a bit under 180...it WAS 3am on the lonliest strech of road in the tri-county area so he let me go with a "make sure you watch your tach especially since your spedomiter only goes to 85" lecture and a warning lol. He said he wouldn't have bothered to pull me over since I wasn't weaving or anything but we passed his supervisior who was hidden on the highway access road...
