I was very attached to my 186,000 mile Saab 9000T as well, but it had to go
earlier this year. It was looking like there were too many upcoming bills.
Irrationally, I spent far more on its replacement, my 4th 9000. But I
still have my OM-10, bought new in 1978 when they launched. I'd never get
rid of that - we've been on too many travels together. It's been cooked
and frozen, soaked and dried, and dropped a few times yet it's still in
fine working order. These days it's enjoying retirement, but occasionally
comes out for a look round. I know just how you feel :-)
