My Last SAAB

Along Lake Michigan on the Upper Peninsula.

When the 9-4x was introduced, I test drove one at Gary Small Saab in Portland, Oregon. I loved the car, and talked to the owner of Dana Motors in Billings, Montana about getting one. Then GM cut Saab loose. I bought this one online from a Chevy dealer in Plymouth, Wisconsin. I was the second owner. The first, according to the title, was General Motors, Inc. My first road trip was to take the Saab from the dealership north into Michigan, then across the Upper Peninsula, and finally south and east to visit family in West Virginia. I loved the car, although the seat bolsters cut into my thighs which was very uncomfortable. My last drive was to Jaremko Saab in Spokane, Washington for a regular check up. On the way home, I fell asleep driving on Interstate 90 in Idaho, went into the median where the car became airborne and landed on its nose. Because parts were not available, the car was totalled. I cannot complain. I walked away from what could have been a fatal accident.
