Happy Feat: Old Saab Is One In A Million

He's Lucky The Car Didn't Peter Out

Milwaukee man Peter Gilbert has been given a new Saab for free - after logging a million miles (that's 1.6 million km to those of us who use metrics) on his old one. Gilbert, a travelling salesman, donated the 1989 Saab 900 SPG to the Wisconsin Automotive Museum, telling The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at the time he was a little disappointed he hadn't received so much as a Saab T-shirt, much less a replacement car. According to Canada.com, when Gilbert's story was told, the company decided to provide him with a new Saab 9-5 Aero and offer one to anyone who put a million miles on a Saab as the original owner.
