@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: The Rocky Mountain Saab Club is very large and very active, make sure you join up when you get there :-)

I was fortunate, I got to watch the last flight of the one that is now in the US Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson. It flew in from the west, did several fly-bys, then landed on the unused strip next to the museum. My dad and I both cried a little, watching the end of an era.

'86 is a good (and somewhat rare) year for the SPG. Headliner falling is probably the number one problem with the C900. This one also has the factory rear louvers, which add a kinda neat look to the thing. Make sure to check for rust at the lower right-side A-arm mounts; the batteries always leak onto that frame…

Wow, all this money spent on production of a show that ALREADY EXISTS. Can't we just get the current seasons of Top Gear in HD straight from BBC2 and call it done? This makes no sense.

Here's a shot of our oldest, the '66 Monte Carlo 850, somewhere in the wilds of British Columbia. We're repeating the Spring Thaw Rally this weekend, look for pictures!

What a way to start my week :-)

Here's a shot of the MC850 somewhere in British Columbia on last year's Spring Thaw Rally. This year's happens this weekend, can't wait!

Oh yeah. What a great way to start my Monday. Just yesterday, I got my '66 Monte Carlo 850 up and running again after a year-long slumber - not quite the same as the sound of a turbo spooling, but damn fine allt he same :-)

We live about 35 miles east of Seattle, directly under the test flight path of the 787. Watching that thing bank overhead is just friggin' CREEPY; you have to see those bent wings in action to appreciate just how bendy they really are.

@SixSpeed5: I stand corrected, and bow to your Photoshoppery skills :-)

@jbh11126: Wrong on all counts. It's a Saab 9-3SS, with those sweet 5-spoke wheels:

@evoCS-Hench-Minion to the stars: Grew up in Middletown, been there many, many times. Yes, it is in fact the building shown in the Justice League cartoon. Google some interior pictures, it's astonishing.

@Baby beater Benz: Holy crap, me too!!

@muhnkee_2 - Avantime Owner and 100% Jaloper: Hey, that's me back there!

Saab 9000 Aero. Dirt cheap, runs like stink, and simply will not break down (especially with a manual tranny).

The Saab "Monster". A 93 with two 3cyl 2-stroke engines mated to one crank. Good for "well over 100hp" and supposedly clocked at 196km/h...

@beercheck: My bad, Glenway Ave, Price Hill West Side, The 'Nati:

@beercheck: Naah, that's Glendale, right smack in the middle of The 'Nati.

@SantaRita: I am one of those people :-)

The SVX engine is a VERY desirable swap for Vanagon owners, as it fits the engine bay quite well. It can be almost too much for the standard Vanagon tranny as well, but in a Syncro it's a monster.
