Remember that riddle? Some more hints:
- Born from jets.
- Night panel.
- Svenska Aeroplan AB
Got it? Yep, that’s right.
Finally, finally, I have a new car — a midnight blue 1999 Saab 9-3S. Literally 4 hours after walking out the door my last day at Eastbay, I was planning a spontaneous trip to Minneapolis, and that Saturday I was signing the papers.
We returned this past weekend to pick her up and to go to Abe’s nephew’s birthday party. It was quite an experience, because generally when we’re in the Cities Abe drives (because he knows the area and because it’s his car). This time it was different, and I pretty much drove everywhere.
It was a little nerve wracking at first but I eventually got used to it, and I’m a lot more comfortable driving in that area now. Additionally, it’s much easier for me to picture the layout of the city when I’m the one concentrating on what road goes where, meaning I can just slightly find my way around.
So that’s it! The Honda’s gone, the Saab has taken its place, and for the first time ever, I own a European car.

The Jeep previous to the hover Jeep let me completely turn off all the panel lights. I miss that feature. That Jeep didn’t hover though, so maybe that has something to do with it.
