1994 SAAB 900 S: A Swedish Wetdream


I bought my new car yesterday in Raleigh for $3,600. The picture above represents it fairly well, only mine is RED like WEAK BLOOD. It has 40K miles on it, which is an estimated 3,333 miles per year. Not bad, I say.

A Raleigh couple bought it in 1997 when it was four years old for their mother who lives in New York, but living in New York she never drove it so they eventually brought it back down and have been using it sparingly between their BMW motorcycle and truck, not really driving it unless it was werily necessary. They sold this and the motorcycle to buy a new car, and that's where I came in, or at least that's where my mother saw the ad in The Smithfield Herald. Here are some of the features I've discovered on this Swedish wet dream:
  • Electric sunroof
  • Electric windows
  • Electric everything, really
  • 6-disk CD changer (in the trunk)
  • A really big trunk, enough so to hold a body
  • V6 2.5L engine
  • A little button on the shifter with an "S" on it...SPORT MODE ACTIVATED
  • Heated driver and passenger seats

All in all, it's an awesome car. I've unofficially burnt my old one, a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron convertable, which if sold for $300 would be over-priced and probably be worth about $100 for each subsequent month for which it ran.

I've been driving my new car around for the past day, went to school, paid for my mother's hair appointment (BTW, she squirmed her way into getting me to sing for all the women at the salon, since, of course, I sang for Clay Aiken's mother at Ruby Tuesday.

Technically, I had my second exam for General Chemistry II today at 1:00...I didn't go. First of all, we don't normally meet on Wednesday afternoons, therefore I have work at 3:45 (the class ends at 3:40). This will be the second exam I've missed in this class, but I will take another 4-question version of it on Friday, as well as a four-question version of the first one as well, which is exceptionally harder than the normal exam. But, I'm supposed to take them as they come, and if I have to take harder tests because I have a job, then so be it. Besides, who really cares about Chemistry anyway?

What? Computer? Why are you melting? Is it because Chemistry built you, and without its knowledge of plastics and metals you wouldn't exist? So now, because I said, "Who really cares about Chemistry anyway?" you're just going to dissappear? NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
