Yes, BSOS is under new management.  I am Kevin’s dad and have agreed that this arrangement is a good deal for Kevin and a great deal for me.  I’m sure BSOS feels right at home here, the scent of a previous SAAB still lingering about the premises.

As I pulled away from Shoreline on my trip home I of course forgot about the missing synchro, and ground my pound both up and down on my first try.  I’m getting better.  After all, I taught Kevin what double-clutching is.

I have to agree with Kevin that it is fun to drive.  On my way home I had to stop by the Verizon store, and as I pulled into the parking lot I crossed in front of a late model Volvo wagon.  As I entered the store, the Vo;vo driver and his passenger were entering at the same time.  He said what a nice looking SAAB I had, that he and his son were admiring it as I pulled in.  Great.  Day one and already compliments.

Next day was sunny and warm, and I got to go to the store with the windows down and sun roof open.

While under new management, BSOS will be driven by an old fart, so will be known as BSOSOF.

Tomorrow the car will have its first trip over Snoqualmie pass to Roslyn.  There is potential for snow.  Wish it was going to be sunny, but I’m looking forward to the trip.
