Yeah, (unfortunately) I work at North York City Centre. You'd think that parking would be that much cheaper and abundant being so far from the downtown core, but if anything, I find it easier to find available, cheap(er) parking downtown--it's $18/day to park in the building I work in, what a joke.

Thanks! It's a 2004 Aero--I managed to snag the 2002/03 Aero wheels for my winters. I owned a 2003 linear wagon prior to owning my current one, and I certainly would have taken another wagon had the dealer had one in stock at the time. Although there's no denying that Saab is a money loser, I'd hate to see the company fold over seemingly petty details in the negotiation process with GM.

Recently re-finished, painted and installed a factory air dam beneath the bumper, huuuge difference in aesthetics:

And also photoshopped how it would look if/when I lower it:

For reference, this is how it looked before:

It's the Inline 6 M20 engine.

Unfortuantely I am pretty set on lowering it. It still looks too much like a middle-aged man's beater (to the un-informed eye), which is counter-conducive to my being single... So I lowering it may help lessen that. The air dam already made a huge improvement.

I just added a 2007 Porsche Cayman S in Atlas Gray to my garage. I'll post pics once we escape from the blizzard conditions. A Borla racing exhaust system will be added shortly.
