[V8] End of an era(non audi content)

[toml99 at todomundo.com]

Well a good friend of mine who's been a Saab guy forever totalled his  
car today up near the ski area.  He was straddling the road, and a  
truck came around a corner, and boom.  Everyone's fine, but his oil  
cooler/front quarter took the damage.  The '88 SPG had the ECU/ 
ignition cassette from a 04 and with all the upgrades, it was  
boasting something close to 400HP from a 2.0 turbo.  My '87 Turbo is  
going to be the donor car(motor/tranny survived), and for the first  
time in 15 years, I'll be totally SAABLESS.......I was saving that  
car for when I've got time/money and have(soon to not have) the  
replacement engine/tranny/clutch sitting in my shed.  I couldn't say  
no, and really didn't want to buy another set of tabs for the car  
that just sits there looking nice...He'll be driving the Grey V8  
parts car till it get's reassembled...Ha.  I'll have more remorse  
about selling this car than if I sold the Lago car tomorrow.....Merry  
Christmas...Tom
