SAABSUNITED

Hi, we’re the Dutch government, how do you want to be screwed today?

Even when you are an expatriate they still manage to get you. I left The Netherlands 20 years ago and I could tell you some stories about how […]

At 5500rpm it snaps the neck of the driver, at 6000rpm the tires have completely separated and at 6500rpm the engine tears itself loose from its mounts.
Sorry, great for bragging rights, not very useful.

Let’s hope it’s not going to be an anemic boosted 3 cylinder. They seem to be stuffing these engines in everything nowadays.

Your car definitely felt solid to the deer that you hit

Commenting on someones grammar and spelling on an international forum is generally considered to be extremely rude. Please keep in mind that there are many not native speakers and Americans here.

The main […]

OK, here goes again, for the zillionth time.
All that crap that warns you about imminent collision, lane departure, blind spot, etc., makes for really, really bad drivers that are completely relying on all kinds […]

“Also gadgets such as blind spot notifications, breaking power distribution systems, or any other power distribution systems to the wheels, etc. actually improve the driving experience.”

No, they don’t!!!
They […]

Another 9-5 added to the stable, lots of upgrades, new wheels….etc.
Sounds like a big Christmas bonus

Since were discussing tires here…
My wife’s 9-5 is sitting on Bridgestone Turanza/Serenity tires. These tires seem to last a really long time, couple of years now, but I also have the feeling that they have a […]

Any tire on a Viggen will wear quickly. The torque just rips the rubber off at an alarming rate.

As the years fly by we seem to appreciate the old 9-5′s clean design and practical setup more and more.
Congrats.

Btw, our 1999 9-5 seems to suffer from consistent rust issues at the front of the rear wheel […]

Mmm, April Fools jokes used to be a lot more subtle.
This one is on par with Google Nose.

I like the “North Korea declares war on the Rest of the World” in the New York Times better.
Oh, wait…not a joke?

Hey Jeff, you do realize that all your designs tend to go in this direction, don’t you?

Nothing wrong with that, though

And that is the crux of the continuing Saab Saga.
Even when there suddenly would be a NEVS Saab, and it would be a ‘reasonable’ car, and it would come to the US, and there maybe would be parts for it, […]

Mixed bag, ranging from pre-1990 to 2010.
You need to know the exact part number, their store front is _very_ difficult to navigate.

I don’t think Maud O. is an idiot. I think she got exactly what she wanted.

CJ, I think you give the Swedish government more benefit of the doubt that they actually deserve. Following this whole story from around 2007 I feel that a whole bunch of them were actively pursuing the downfall […]

Well, it is not so much governments only, but rather politicians. It doesn’t really matter anymore whether they are left-wing, right-wing or in the middle somewhere. Being politicians they play politics rather […]

That’s a beautiful car!
Great job John. Keep em rolling!

It’s bout 10 years ago that we let our 1991 900S go and it still hurts. Transmission was shot, would have cost a couple grand to repair, so ……. bye. […]

Party pooper here:
Considering that most of us are driving pre-2010 Saabs this is just a nice gesture but not much more.
