Information about the cars I’ve owned:

• The first car I leased with my own money was the 1996 Dodge Intrepid ES. I’d lusted after that car for a few years. I came to regret leasing it because of all the trouble it had. Good design, incredibly poor execution.
• I then leased a 1999 Saab 9⁵ SE V6 sedan. I loved that car. I was sick when the lease ended and I had to turn it in, having been laid off in the meantime. One accident convinced me that Saabs are incredibly safe.
• I currently own a 2000 Saab 9⁵ SE V6 SportWagon.
