Racer, I enjoyed your post because I have so many of the same conflicts. Cars can be so symbolic!
I recently gave up my piece-of-crap Ford Escort for a Saab 9-3. It's older, and I could afford it, but I still had convulsions of anxiety over having something nicer and spending a large chunk of savings. Even I had to laugh at the tormented guilt and fear I went through for weeks, over something that undoubtedly no one else would give a second thought to.
Enjoy your Saab! I love mine in every way (well, maybe not the "dealer-only" repair bills, but still...).
