To Sell??
Just thought this was funny.
I am bored with my daily driver. Sure would be nice to get a good used E46 BMW coupe. But to do that, I would have to sell my current daily driver AND my 164.
"Nah," I think, "how can I part with it?"

Then I check in and see these three hot threads!

Alfa caught on fire today...

Got spanked by a Z

Jacking Point Failed!


Good thing I don't believe in "signs," or my decision would be made for me.

PS: OK, add this one!

my 91 164s died

You can't have to many spare parts or Alfa 164s. When you have a fleet you just swap tags and insurance and get on with it.

Ah well, I just bought yet ANOTHER set of wheels for it, so I guess it stays.

Yes, a 2002 Saab 9-5. Really nice car, actually, (see below) but I just get an itch for another car every 1- 2 years. I am looking to maybe get a bimmer, or if I decide gas is still too expensive, an 03 or 04 Saab 9-3. So the one you see here is now for sale.
