Don't laugh - I've already shared this with the Saab Club of North America, and sent it to the folks at SaabsUnited.com. Don't think for one goddamn moment that we won't all make this a thing, a for-real thing, starting this year.

Why weren't you part of the Saab farewell special? Busy with hair products? :) We sure missed you there...

The problem with the Trollblazer (built in Dayton, Ohio, USA...sigh...) is that, while it was by far the best Trailblazer ever built, it was STILL a Traiblazer. The I6 engines are weak and loud, and teh V8 consumes ridiculous amounts of oil - like, three quarts per 1000 miles. The Saab shops I know who are still…

Dude, that's nothing: my wife and I own seven different Saabs together, and she's a far better rally driver than I. FEAR ME :-)

Couple years back, it came time to swap a rebuild tranny into my wife's '68 Saab 95. My older kids were in town for the summer, and decided to help. So we pulled the V4 and tranny as a unit (pretty simple, actually), dropped the old gearbox and installed the new. Everyone was excited to hear it run and drive for the…

I too was there on Opening Day, with seven other Saabs and hundreds of others in the show field.

Did someone say "scoot down I-90"? :-)

Did someone say "scoot down I-90"? :-)

This was both the most epic WIN and epic FAIL roadtrip I have ever taken. WIN for driving I-90 beginning to end; FAIL for having busted A/C for most of the trip, including across 106F Wyoming and Montana...

I'd say this one ('cause, y'know, I made it), but it's 20 minutes, not seconds...

There was a place in (I think it was) Billings, Montana, that would swap out the Renault shitty bits under the hood for a Chrysler V6 Caravan drivetrain, which I understand made these things rather peppy. Still, no kitchen.

Parts- easy to find. The V4 motor is a Ford product, 2/3 or an old Capri motor, engine bits are plentiful. Said V6 won't fit under the hood, that's why they didn't get that motor.

Oh come on, they weren't THAT bad.

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.
