After giving this the tought it deserves, here's my tuppence.
Some of you know the story, so you can hit the Delete key
now.

I was looking for a Saab 900 hatchback -- I'm the practical
sort. There on the used car lot was a black on black 200T
(auto, non-quattro). One test ride and I was hooked. There
was no comparison to the Saab. So much for practicality.
I asked the list for their opinion, and it was unanimous --
bypass that one and look for a Quattro.

I found my 200 TQ. It had a stack of bills with it, so I thought
it was in good shape. I've since put more money into it than
I paid for it. Now it is in the conidition I thought it was when
I bought it.

Why do I keep it?  It's fun to make the big girl hustle down
the back roads. It's even better to eat up the miles on the
interstate highways. Fast, quiet, comfortable, safe, great
in the winter, and when passing a cop^H^H^H police officer,
neigh on invisible.

At this point, I'm ready for a ECU chip and spring upgrade.
