Those console-mounted ignition switches stuck down where salt and crud
could get to them, rotting them out. I had a girlfriend at one time who
had an old Saab, she called me one day and said the car would not turn
off. So I go there, and the switch was stuck "on" and could not be
"offed." I can't remember what I did, I think maybe told her to drive
it to a shop where they replaced it. At least she wasn't stranded by
not being able to "on" it. Another buddy had a Saab, had to replace the
switch a time or two as well (and from junk falling in it from above).
I inferred that they don't use salt on the roads in Svenska, or carry
drinks, or have toddlers that emit upon them.

It's pretty funny that we were just discussing broken down cars in the
