You can still get plenty of power and relatively good MPG's. A 2.3 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder beats most 6 cylinder cars that I have raced. And if your driving conservatively you can easily get 25-30 mpg. I don't because I drive excessively fast but it can be done. Saab is where its at.
As for what I drive
-185BHP -212 Ft lbs torque -Electronically limited to 155MPH -I've had it at 135MPH -Born from Jets

saab, made in trollhättan, Sweden. The car that has looked the same, with minor changes, since...... hmmmm...... whatever. They have Frontwheeldrive tho, which is boring. They are supposed to be quite economical, which is good for transport. ohwell, what they CAN do on the other hand is fighter jets, the most famous would be Jas gripen.

SAABs, i hate em, they're weird (especially cuz on older 90's and early 2000's, u have to put car in reverse to get the key out of the ignition.....wtf is that?) and, they are front-wheel-drive, all of em, boring and no fun, and u can't drift with em. my truck is a beauty for drifting...lols. BUT! SAAB's are well-engineered and are good for people other than me and teabag.....lols!

Goal -----> http://www.bmh-ltd.com/mgb.htm kinda looked nice when i bought it but i was deffinetly not happy with the paintjob som im taring things apart.
and this is my MG-B. Working like crazy on the body, and the paintjob was just aweful. im blazing all of the original padding and paint off. The car came with the american version bumper, ugly ass black rubber duck-lip. Bought chromed bumpers which are now halfway attached. the paint will be done the comming summer, as the manual removal of shitty sandish painting will take a long time, former owner tried to restore it but in vain in my opinion. theres a lot on my progresslist to fix for this car. The engine is tip-top tho, apart from that i want to adjust the fuelinjections a little, and all interior and electronics works fine. all that really needs to be fixed IS the exterior. I might upload more pics as progress progresses O_o. not very "spacy" in front yet so ill upload some asspics atm, ill hand you some frontpics as soon as i care to clean up at the port of the garage.
Pics of the W.I.P:
im not sure if its necessary to upload pics of my volvo, its all original. my transport only veehee.

fairly easy is easy to say tho. sure, its easy but the time it takes makes me rather have something hard to do that takes less time.
i might need to get hold of a good welder also, i have no idea what the former owned did to part of the right door, when i removed the plasticpadding and paintjob from parts of the car it unveiled ugly marks that cant easly be covered and better be welded. I must admit my frustration and anger for the previous owner, he must taste my fury.
Also the guy who put plasticpudding on the car just didnt give a shit about the small patches of surface rust that would have been sooooo easy to remove, he just threw like, 10 kilos of pudding all over the car, i saved a patch for a photograph which i will upload later when i care to go get my camera, its about 5 milimeters thick, omg. Anyway, its all going away now, for i am here to save it and restore it.

That car has looked the same since 1998 when it was debuted. Got a minor facelift in 2002 and a major facelift in 2006 and is now based on the Cadillac CTS chassis. Frontwheel drive is boring.... In all conditions I handle better than a BMW. I can whip mine around better too. You can drift in a saab, one of these days I will upload a youtube video of it.
Slim with a standard you had to put the car in reverse to get the key out because emergency brakes often loosen. The gears won't... So by putting it in reverse the car is not gonna move. Not such a dumb idea after all.
