House Carlsson.

I present my personal vehicle, a 1966 Saab 96 Monte Carlo 850. 3 cylinder, 841cc, 2-stroke, oil-injected, 55hp, 127lb engine.

Autohaus was right across the street from what was then the south entrance to Wright-Patterson AFB, and had an impressive clientele of Air Force types whose imports needed loving. It was an amazing place. I went to Wright State University (just down the road) and lived in an apartment one block behind this building…

I won a '79 Celica in a poker game in about 1989. That piece of shit had passed through my entire group of friends for years without a penny changing hands. At one point I lost it again, only to win it back before the new owner could take the title. None of us ever changed the oil or plugs in the beast, ever, earning…

Why is my name ThatSaabGuy? Because I have owned and driven nothing but Saabs since about 1989. My wife and I share a common love for the cars; here she is in her chainmail bikini, showing the love for a '92 C900V. Y'know, because she can.

What's cool about this picture isn't so much the cutaway part, it's that they picked a Green Monster to do it. The green cars were very, very, VERY green - green paint, green crushed velour interior, some even had green plastic dashboards, wheels and door panels to match.

You think Jack's bad, you should meet his brother, who my cousin had the misfortune of marrying. Guy's a total right-wing pompous douchenozzle, through and through. Must run in the family.

WIN!!

We live two blocks straight ahead in that picture, Mount Si is in our front yard :-)

Hey, WE live in North Bend! We go to Twede's (the MAR-T Cafe in Twin Peaks) all the time, and yes the cherry pie is still epic. The citizens of Snoqualmie (our sister town next door) hate hate HATE DirtFish and are trying to run it out of town, the ignorant fuckers.

Hang loose, y'all. If you have a minute, read up at www.saabsunited.com. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K. PhoeniX, indeed...

There is a battery near where I used to live in Harstad, Norway. Truly spectacular.

My pick:

GT: woxyphil (because some other doucher has thatsaabguy as his tag, clearly a fake! Injustice!)

My parents bought a '78 Pacer Wagon new off the showroom floor at Wilmer Motors in Middletown, Ohio, in November of 1977. They gave it to me when I returned from Norway and started college in 1988. Brown metallic paint with matching painted hubcaps over tan vinyl. I absolutely loved and miss that car - it was pimp…

Yeah, Clear Channel called, they want to buy space on that billboard you stole to make the dash.

Saab Museum, Trollhattan, Sweden. Seriously, it's astonishing.

You're welcome :-)

Nope, you're all wrong :-)

This book is total crap, with no consistency or actual research done. I had high hopes for it, but after reading it and being filled with LOL moments, I've written it off s a complete hack job. Seriously, there are credibility gaps so big in the book even a clod like me could fly a MiG-23 through them. As far as I'm…
