I used to have a white '89. They are fun cars, but at times on the pricey side. Understatement. I was quoted $800 + just to fix the sagging headliner. The excuse was that they would have to take the back window out to remove it. I just dropped the back seat and took it out the trunk and after about $15 dollars at walmart, I was back in business. Not a moment too soon either. Before that, I had been speeding on the interstate, bumper to bumper through a construction zone (nearly all of northern Va is a construction zone), when some jerk kept riding my rear like he wanted me to go even faster. I think I was already doing 20 over... and because of the notoriously droopy SAAB headliner all I could see were his headlights in the rear-view. What a jerk! I wasn't going to go faster and I couldn't merge because there were cars everywhere (another piece of northern Virginia status quo). When his headlights started flashing, and I mean flashing like... left, right, left, right... I did what anyone would do when they are caught red-handed speeding, in Virginia, in a construction zone... I slowed a bit, changed lanes, and pretended that nothing had happened. He watched me for a minute or two (at least I think he did! Who the heck knows when they are driving a SAAB and can't see out the rear-view!) and then he sped by me on his way. At the time, I fancied my SAAB too upscale for a pneumatic stapler. Ironically it was not too fancy for the sweet paisley crushed velvet that I wound up using.
