Way too much glass and visibility for 2017.

“Ordinary Fuckin’ People”

But that’s an Audi.

My current daily driver is "Roy," my 1986 Saab Saab 9000 Turbo. It's a reasonably low miles California car that I've done a lot of work to, including a recent suspension overhaul, steering rack, cooling system overhaul, and clutch among other things. He has a full interior from a 1993 9000 Aero. There are always…

You lost me at "with no seatbelt. "

Carroll Shelby made 8-spoke wheels that were available for Saab 99/900 models in the 1980s through the Saab Accessories catalog. They had "SAAB" and "Carroll Shelby" cast into the rim. I had a set of these on my '85 Saab 900S.

Spot-on analysis. These ads are the worst. I don't care what normal people think about their boring appliance cars. As an enthusiast I forget that most of the population just thinks of their cars as point A to point B machines. That's why it drives me crazy to hear normal people recommend cars to each other or gush…

Wrong! It really comes with a V4, don't they know that?

I take good quality photos and a lot of them. I also am very upfront and descriptive about any flaws and problems with the car. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by covering up or ignoring issues that the new owner will discover soon after. Having a good reputation as a car seller means a lot to me, especially…

That sounds about right. We don't have any kind of annual inspections here in Kentucky and there is some scary stuff on the roads, cars with no mirrors, headlights, taillights, brake lights, etc. Doesn't seem to bother the police. I can only imagine how messed up the brakes must be on cars like this. Makes me miss the…

If that's not enough brand dilution, get ready for the Paceman!

Saab Sonett III.

Agreed, the 300ZX design has really held up well, it doesn't look very dated like the one it replaced.

I'm glad that the 300ZX was on the list and that you clarified what it costs for a nice one. There's kind of a rough one for sale in my neighborhood with signs on it for $8.5k and that seemed a bit CP to me.

My wife are in our early 30s with a toddler. Our "family" car is an '01 Saab 9-5 Aero wagon (manual). When it is time to replace it we will get a Mazda 5 (manual). Parents do carry too much crap for their kids these days. Not having more wagon choices makes me sad.

I agree that the ninth generation looks kind of cheap, especially when parked next to an eighth generation example, which was a pretty good design. In fact, I blogged about it today after seeing them together in a parking lot. http://theshiftpattern.com/

Get your kid some Matchbox cars or Hot Wheels. My 20 month old daughter has some new ones, I also let her play with some of the more worn out vintage ones in my collection. Here she is with some of the very same ones I played with 30 years ago, she even makes the "vroom vroom" noises!

I think it's a safe assumption that everyone involved in this incident is a fucking idiot.

Erik Carlsson, a true gentleman who has attended many a Saab Owners Convention and will gladly spend the whole time mingling with enthusiasts and sign autographs. There are a number of vintage SAABs out there bearing his autograph. He makes me proud to be into these weird cars.
