A long time ago we had a Chevy Citation which had the same problem. Wasn't
it the same car, just different body? After the 3rd or 4th spinout, we got rid
of it. Too scary with a 2 year old strapped in it!

I
sold my Oldsmobile. You forgot about the New York City definition of BMW -
Break My Window. Also, Fiat is Fix It Again Tony. I wonder what Jaguar stands
for.
p.s. I
had a Saab and it was a great car. Never had to do anything to it except
change the oil, and it was the best handling in bad weather of any car I've
ever owned. My worst handling in bad weather was a 1987 Chevy Celebrity, which
had a habit of doing 180s, 360s and even 540s on wet roads. It got to the
point where I was sort of used to it. One time I did a 360 going around a
curve on a wet highway and just shrugged it off and kept going as if nothing
had happened. The other drivers gave me lots of space after that. Luckily I
never hit anything. I traded in the car in '94 when I bought my (new) Saab.
They gave me $1500.00 for it. As I pulled away from the dealership I noticed
that the Celeb had developed a flat tire while parked in front of the
dealership. 'Twas a fitting way to say goodbye and good riddance. I don�t see
many of them on the road any more, but when I do, I am sure not to get too
close.
