This was my 2007 9-3.  We had taken a trip to the Central Coast of Oregon a few years ago and on the way back to Colorado, stopped at the Maryhill Museum in Washington state where we encountered a life-size concrete replica of Stonehenge.  I thought it was a rare opportunity for photo backdrop:
 


This car we had for about 7 years, and put about 60,000mi on it.   It was actually the best of the 3 9-3s we've had, with maintenance costing less than $0.07/mi over the years we owned it.   That cost figure included new tires, tire rotations, oil changes, other maintenance and repairs, but excludes fuel and insurance.   

Bruv how is your little daughter Elsie doing?  A while ago (years?) you posted a pic of her eating strawberries and yogurt for breakfast. Cute as a button!     The OG Saabs are still sought after - I don't think they made a Viggen in the newer body style.  Very cool-looking cars.

Oboe, I finally traded in my 2008 Turbo X a couple years ago. It was just getting too expensive to maintain and find parts for. Before that I had a 2003 9-3. I miss the cars and the SAAB company.

We all have a blind date with Destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.

Exactly right, Dux.   <S>
