I drove my plain vanilla 1980 900 (in alabaster -- the best color saab ever made) to something over 360,000, and it was still running when last I heard anything of it, a year ago. The car with the wing window is a 1965 122s Volvo station wagon... my current saab is not nearly as much fun. bill Richard S.
