A Saab is the only car she ever wanted to own
Five days ago, Drive On told you about the hardy 28 Saab owners who drove from around the country to Detroit to demonstrate in front of General Motors' headquarters in hopes that the automaker will relent and save Saab.
Well, things aren't looking particularly good on the Saab front, but we thought you'd like to meet one of the owners who struck up a conversation with Drive On's Sharon Silke Carty as they froze together in a downtown parking lot last week.
Suzanne Shelata has only ever bought one brand-new car: A 1997 Saab 9-3 convertible. She fell in love with it instantly, but realized she didn't have enough cash to buy it. So she went job hunting.
"First I found the car, then I found a job," says the Hamburg, Michigan, resident. "And it's the only car I ever want to own."
The car has become more than a car to Shelata. It's a cause.
"I want to see Saab live. I think it would be such a loss," said Shelata says.
