>What do you drive as your second vehicle? Why?

SAAB (old) 900, 1989 model. I've only had four cars in my driving life (34 years now, yikes!), all SAABs. One was a '73 model 95 station wagon that I just couldn't resist. The "daily drivers" were a '63 model 96 (with a 3 cylinder two-stroke engine), a '79 model 900, and now the '89.

I really like driving them. But they're no good for a family of five and two dogs -- for that you need a "bus" and you get those from VW. Lately with gas prices being what they are I've been thinking that a diesel wagon of some sort would be a nice thing.
