I bought a new car.

Actually, I bought a new car at the end of December 2007, and it just arrived. After 4 long and impatient months I am the proud owner of a Saab 9-3 Aero.

It was time to say goodbye to the Volvo. After some very unacceptable customer service experiences I decided to take my business elsewhere. It’s sad really, because I enjoyed the car when it wasn’t in the shop being further damaged by the service team. And to Volvo Customer Care: shame on you for not taking care of a customer, especially a brand loyal customer.

Probably a good thing I dumped it too – it lost over half it’s resale value after 2.5 years and 19000 miles. That’s pretty crappy in my book. Shame on you Ford for buying Volvo and demolishing it.

So onward and upward to the Saab. Every time I say it, I pronounce it like I’m saying Da’an from Earth Final Conflict. Say it with me now, Sah-ahb. That’s nice.

Anyhoo – you’ll soon see me sportin’ it around town. Cheers!
