94 Saab Aero 9000- how to baby it?

Honestly, I think babying these cars makes them frail. I have a '94

Then I still have my baby, my '88 9K T which I bought new. It did have to have the transmission replaced within the 1st 2 years, and sits in my drive needing another trans at this moment w/ ~175k miles on the odometer. I put in a factory supplied chip a month or so after I bought the car (bumped up the output to 175 bhp, plus kicks the turbo in a little over 2200 rpm), new Biltstein shocks and springs on at ~ 90k, and have had to have the clutch slave cylinder replaced, plus wheel bearings (twice) (I think those had something to do with the 16" accessory wheels), and replaced the ABS pump, and the exhaust system.. There are rust spots on the doors (never, ever Ziebart - the rust spots are where they drilled), cracked leather seats, cracked leather on the arm rest, a non-functional passenger window. Other than that, the car is still tight as hell, in fact the Saab tech told me a couple years ago that the car was in better mechanical shape than most of the 3 year old cars coming in for service.

Why? MHO is that other than frequent oil, fluid and filter changes, I always ran that car hard, >I have had atleast about 100 problems with this car from 60K miles to 130K >miles now.

Don't drive it? That way nothing will break...

But seriously, when you drive an older cars such as this you need to keep up with the repairs as they crop up, rather than allowing them to build up and have to be taken care of all at once
