Clearly, you've hit the nail right on its quirky, turbo-laggy, key-in-center-consoley, torque-steery, upright-seating-positioney, massive-hatchbackey, tweed-jacket-with-suede-elbow-patchey, pipe-smokey, sometimes-the-electrical-gremlins-are-wonky, man-they're-ugly-but-we-love-them-deeply, head.

It's really tragic. Mary and her partner were active in the Rocky Mountain Saab Club, and ran the parts tent at the 2009 Saab Owners Convention in Colorado. Still no word yet on why this happened. Just....just awful.

Hell yeah, brother. All y'all, get thee to www.saabclub.com and sign up. We all need to band together, our strength is in our organized numbers. Plus, cool swag, and discounts!

Umm, Saab, hello. Led owner loyalty for years and years and years, our owners conventions still draw them in by the hundreds. Hell, we're still buying "new" Saabs that were abandoned at the docks, and finding ways to hack them and keep them alive despite a dead parent company.

As a former long-time resident of Dayton, Ohio...I, sadly, approve this message, The place is a fucking shithole.

I own an earlier-generation Ferrari Acer laptop. It was fine, decent performance...six years ago. Now it won't boot, and it's hardly worth the $150 to have the power board replaced. Meh. It makes a nice carbon-fiber decoration in my office.

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.

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.
