2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen RIP

My insurance company has determined that my old faithful Viggen is a total loss! I am so sad that I couldn't complete this adventure with her after having driven 96,348 miles in the car. When we left the tow lot in Jeffersonville, IN where she was housed last evening, I knew there was a distinct possibility that I may not be seeing my lovely car again. Apollo shares the unique honor of having the last photograph with her.

I will miss my wonderful car.

I am also regrouping my thoughts now that I know the car will not be made roadworthy again. I will have an update tomorrow whether my road trip goes on or not.

Thank you for 11 years of brilliant driving and wonderful memories. You would've completed the trip had I not made the mistake.

  4. I am so thankful that you and Apollo were not injured! The car can be replaced, it is just a vehicle. I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience,though!
