I was driving:
87 Porsche 924S
87 SAAB 900 Turbo
87 SAAB 9000 Turbo S
74 Porsche 914
One SAAB was totaled, one SAAB was stolen.
Both the Porsches are semi-retired till I figure out what to
do with them. I'm thinking about selling the 924S to finish
restoring the 914.
You guys have some really nice cars by the way!

Still have a 2003 Saab wagon which I don't drive as much now that I put most of the miles on the gas sippin' box. The Saab is nice for haulin' the family on longer trips, but feels like overkill on short trips. The xB is really fun to drive!
We also still have a 2000 Volvo V40 wagon (we obviously like wagons or xB's that resemble wagons..) It's sportier than the Saab, but not as roomy as the Saab or the xB. My daughter drives this car. She likes the xB, but doesn't know how to drive a stick. For some reason, I'm in no hurry to teach her!

The xB is seriously one of the EASIEST car's to learn to drive a stick on! The clutch is as light as a feather, and ya barely have to give it gas to get movin!

!!!
first car was a 93 acura vigor GS, 5spd, leather int. and woodgrain

I tried learning on a 91 VW GTI, a Colt Vista, and my man's 92 Toyota Corolla... I could NOT get the hang of it. As soon as I got behind the wheel of the xB I was practically a master shifter lol
