My Damn Car!!!

When I first got my new job and began making some real money I went straight out and bought myself a new car. I love it, it is Fast, Beautiful, has all the techy/geeky gadgets that I love, and did I mention that it is Fast…

Anyway it has been plagued with minor problems, windows stop working, computer failures, security systems failures, sunroof won’t close… on and on. It has been in the shop every month since I got it in Sept of 03. I was so excited last time I picked it up because I was so confident that that was the last time, and everything was settled and working… WRONG!!! During the holiday the seatbelt broke, the passenger window stopped working right, the drivers seat broke, and now something is wrong with the engine where it is using oil and the computer put it into “limp mode” where it basically shuts off the turbo and it loses all of its power. ARRRGGGH!!! Why does this happen to a brand new $35k car!!! it has 24k miles!!!

OK, I’m done venting, I had better get back to work and schedule my month appointment with the mechanic.

If you are interested it is a 2003 Saab 9-3 Arc 2.0T 6-Speed manual. Oh and of course I will post a picture to show off how beautiful it is.
