I guess the way people look at you is relative; I first started driving in Greenwich CT and I couldn't count how many kids at my high school trash talked my '96 Saab. I enjoyed having a car that I could say I completely owned, built, and maintained on my own coin and felt that people gave me more respect because of that. Driving the Z on the other hand, I feel like I am seen as a spoiled rich kid (even though I paid for a large percentage of it) but oh well!

Oh no offence ever taken, my fellow Saab-enthusiast. My family is a bunch of saab-nuts... my dad has a Viggen and a 07 9-3, I have my 9-3 for winter and had a 900 and a 9000... These cars are a pleasure to drive if maintained properly, and the older 900's and 9000's definitely needed a lot of coin! (or maybe it just seemed that way in highschool). Regardless, I look forward to the dirty looks I will undoubtedly get in the summer in the Z, just take them as backhanded compliments, IMO
