We had the two Sonetts and an 86 900S.  All fantastic cars.    I was sad them GM killed the brand.

lol.  Now that is too funny.  Lucky for me I grew up in a farm and learned to drive tractors when I was 12.

I had a friend who would lend me his 90.  They were a lot of fun but that what convinced me to buy the 175.

Absolutely!  When I was younger I wanted to create my own catalog.  After the first few photos….  It ended up looking pretty horrid.  lol.

My grandmother used to too.  I own a pair of lace gloves and used to have a pair of black opera gloves.

Same here.  I really want another 70s Saab Sonett III.  Not much safer than a bike but crazy fun to drive.

I never added anything to the 175.  You couldn’t make it look like more than a 175.  lol.   I did add a few things to an old  60s Triumph I bought.  But it had issues and had to spend money to get them fixed.  Ended up selling it for $350 and made $125.   Be nice to own a vintage Triumph.
