The Saab was the best-looking, with the Bravada next. The only thing the Isuzu Ascender had going for it was the better warranty, 3 year/50,000 miles plus a 7 year/75,000 mile powertrain warranty versus 3 year/36,000 miles. The TrailBlazer debuted with a bunch of recalls. However, it drove better than its closest rival, the Explorer. The interior was subpar. The Saab version fixed most of the problems, but the entire line needed upgrades. Too bad GM couldn't afford more updates to keep them competitive.

Route 66

California is still waiting for the Big One. I went through the '89 Loma Prieta earthquake in my concrete lab class on UC Berkeley. BART was packed for the next few months as the Bay Bridge was being fixed. Two years later, I was there for the Oakland fires. I evacuated my apartment. The Oakland Hills used to be thick with brush and very narrow roads and rustic houses. Now it's wider roads and ultramodern houses.
