Rural Living #2
Norm's posts have been far and few between, and much of that has been due to projects and the weather. Call it what you will, but owning a home really results in a myriad of emotions and situations. At times over the years, Norm has felt he was in control. But other times it has felt more like a series of marathons. Only one is never sure what the actual running distance is.
As posted earlier, Norm did have an encounter with a deer. And this resulted the loss of his transportation. And while he has been relying on the girlfriend and friends, he needs a new ride. (A new used ride.) With the cost of gas more than milk, Norm has certainly been dragging his heels in this quest. A clean SAAB 900 would be nice. And while Norm sees many on the road, finding one in good condition for under $6000 is going to be tough. (The picture posted is from some European collection!! What a beauty!!)

Good luck on the car hunt, Norm. Sorry the old Saab is gone, though. Somehow, I didn't catch that fact originally in the deer story. Do you drive a lot? Maybe a hybrid is in your future? A used Prius? They're out there now.
Did you have a Saab before? My friend's Saab was fun to drive, but pretty much a headache on four wheels . . .
Anyone that I know that has ever owned a Saab has had a Saab story. By Saab story, I mean Sob story...
Get yourself a good Japanese car.
LA, it's would be great to get a hybrid. But even the used ones are pricey. Norm wants a scooter. (Norm really wants a motorcycle!!)
Diane, the SAAB was a car Norm had years ago, but had to ditch. The old 99/900s are very reliable if you take care of them.
Kook, that's what happened.
