Easy there killer, just making light of the situation, as I tend to do with everything I don’t understand the nuances of.

I’ve got the Zwave version of this, which works with my Veralite. It’s nothing fancy, and it does pretty much everything you need it to. Still prefer the Nest I’ve got downstairs though. I barely ever touch it during the winter time.

So Russia has broken Aircraft Carriers, and we have a bunch of those. We have a broken Icebreaking ship, and they have a bunch of those.

2005 Saab 9-5 Arc, 2006 Saab 9-3 Arc, 2007 Saab 9-5 Aero Sportcombi. All bought used as off-lease cars, with around 25-30k. And they were all fantastic daily drivers. Comfortable, fast, reliable. The handling was really nice for a front drive car.

Someone in my office was just talking about needing new ball joints to pass safety inspection here in the Rhode Island. I think every state that sees a decent amount of snow, and with it salt on the roads, should have a safety inspection. BUT, it should be an independent location separate from any repair shop. I‘ve…

Yeah, that was a pretty awful run of cars. The G6 would have been fine for her, but the 9-3 she got instead was a much better option.

I think we have a winner. Those Sebrings were steaming piles.

I think you were thinking of the Geo/Chevy Prizm..

Not disagreeing with you at all. But that SC1, the drop in power was staggering. Still, for an idiot college student, that car did what I needed it to, and well.

That Saab had very little in the way of issues along it’s 6 year, 100k mile journey with us. I maintained it very well, and it never caused us trouble. Worst thing I think that ever happened was a spring that snapped due to corrosion covered under an extended warranty from Saab, or the driver seat bottom tearing.…

Rated for 100 HP. On a good day. Sure it was a light car, but I’ve had plenty of 4cyl that had far less of an issue handling the A/C.

I had 3 Saabs (two 9-5s and a 9-3) between the two of us, and they were awesome and trouble free. She loves her Renegade Trailhawk, and it fits her.

I bought it and a month or two later drove from New England to Ohio with my poor brother crammed in the back. Averaged 45mpg when gas was $1.50 a gallon. I think the entire trip cost me under $40 round trip.

They were terrible. My mom had a 95' four door I learned to drive on. I once had the pedal to the floor for about 10-15 seconds before the car decided to downshift getting on the highway.

Had a 2002 SC1, can confirm. Gas mileage was great, but when you need to hit the accelerator harder when the A/C turns on, you know you could use a little more power.

My girlfriend (now wife) back in High School (2001) bought a 1996 Jetta Trek with a Salvage title. God I hated that thing. She didn’t have the keys to the roof rack, so it was permanently stuck on there. She hit a median getting on the Mass Pike and tore the exhaust out of it, and decided to get rid of it after that.…

8, 11 or 19 please.

Put it this way: asking the Polar Star to carry out another mission is like driving a well-maintained 1970s hooptie from New York across country and expecting it not to break down on you in Iowa.

I like to say that anything early in the era of OBDII is my wheelhouse. Plug a computer in to figure out what’s wrong, then go track down the problem and fix it. My 1990s cars have been the least stressful cars to keep running right.
