Went to test drive a car today (OK, so not a retro but a 2yo Saab Aero convertible in bright Cerulean blue). The plan (my plan ) is to get a new-ish convertible and an older retro to use when I'm going into Leeds or on wet days. SWMBO got in. Got out. Walked off. Her comment ... "it makes a statement, doesn't it". Of course it does - that's the point !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Basically, it's too 'flashy' for her. So sitting in a bikini on a white Bond Bug doesn't make a statement I'll just have to buy one behind her back, leave it on the drive and say "well, you let me decide dear"

Current vehicle collection: 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero convertible - in mid-life crisis yellow No new retro as yet ... all attempts to sneak one onto the drive have failed.

I can understand her if you were buying a porsche boxster, but a saab just says that you want a safe and reliable car

But does the Saab match your toupe and chest wig? is it viagra blue ? Or does she just think it's an attempt at attracting young hotties? .Why don't you tell her that young guys think that they are cool and she will look fantastic in it...and where can we pics of her in said bikini on the bond bug?

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.
