Well, I traded my wife cars for the week, and I must say, driving a 2007 Saab 9-3 Turbo is a hoot. Feels like the motor is strapped to your right foot. Turbo lag is nil, and once it comes on full boil it's a blast. Quicker than my X for sure. Rides better as well. Handling ....gotta go with the X on that one. The Saab's wheel gets a little squirmy under hard cornering (both cars have 17" performance tires) and the torque steer is enough that you have to make adjustments. I have always felt that the X handles extremely well.

Saab beats it hands down on the radio end as well, with a 9 speaker Bose system. The special seats are a dream (60th anniversary edition - has the same interior as the new 9-3).

Anyway, all this has made me itchy for a new mod on the X....new tires are coming soon, as the Falken Ziex's went to sh*t after 5,000 miles. Man they are junk!! Worst tire I've ever had. The winter Hankooks will go on in Nov and I can't wait, if you can believe that.

Soo....any suggestions for mods? I'm thinking cat-back exhaust is next on the list. Then maybe some asthetic stuff, clear blinkers and the like.....it has to go back to the dealer soon because 2 out of 4 door handles and locks are not working correctly.....jeez.

I need to get some new pics up....
