Nobody really notices mine/cares.

 

likewise besides I think your friend needs to focus on his sentence structures; that made no sense what so ever

 

my friends all have hondas or Bmw's, And for some odd reason i liked none of them and bought a saab but i can honestly say i like saabs much better

 

ya, hondas have that tendency to suck ass

 

Uhhh, I'd probably rather own a bmw than a saab.


I was super close to buying a '90 525i instead of my 900. Probably more problems/expensive shit with that, though. And more winter fail.



Car choices for my next beater, when I sell my 900 and 9000 are-

NG900 turbo 5sp
BMW 525i 5sp
Audi 80/90 quattro 10v
Subaru outback or mid-late '90s legacy 5sp
Late '90s subaru forester 5sp


I really want to experience rwd or awd. I've never driven a rwd car, let alone played with one in winter. AWD and left foot braking would be lulz, too.

 

I've gotten the " how many ball joints have you replaced?" question a couple times.

 

Funny thing is on the 9-3SS and 9-5 the ball joints are very reliable.

 

MY uncle is a Bmw mechanic or a euro mechanic, he's pretty good he has a 1984 Bmw with like 4 extra motors and trans for some reason he won't get rid of that car the funny part about it is that he has so much extra motors and trans, but that car drives like twice a year

 

i think the closest i've come to getting an insult was from some guy in a wrx chasing me..."WTF is that thing? a saab?"

 

about 3 years ago I was driving somewhere when i saw this girl from my english class driving her first gen hyundai accent, she tried to race me LOL and i obviously pulled away hard, next day in class shes says oh i saw you on the highway and i said yeah, then i over hear he friend ask her what i was driving and says some POS saab, that made me chuckle thought id share, no one really says anything bad about my car, well in front of me atleast

 

I don't think most people around here have even seen a saab.


'tis "murrican" car country around here.

 

i don't usually get insults, bt a lot of times i do get "i think your car is broken, it keeps making a really loud like whistling PSSHT sound" or "how come your car is so fast?"

 

I get the "Something An Asshole Bought" from a few select friends.


They are totally right, though.

x2

But I think that one is hilarious.

 

I'm definitely an asshole.

 

I had this friend from high school who had an 07 325i. He used to say: SAAB=saab.almost.a.bmw. I wanted to prove him wrong but he said his bmw is 5x faster but he wouldnt race me.

Now, people think i drive an STI.

 

It seems like everyone has a Saab here in NH and Vermont...

 

I really wish i live in a place where saab tuners where popular
lol But having the only saab actually feels good sometimes i love asking that Random honda guy "Got Boost?" half the time its no but i have a random swap

 

Our first big snow in MI, everyone at work thought that because the snow was almost to my plates, I was sure to be stuck. To everyone's surprise, I reversed out without even "rocking"!!!! A+++ for Blizzaks and 15" steelies along with Saab's excellent engineering!

 

Just thought I would share one from all models i found relevant
ACURA
Always Catching Up, Rarely Ahead
BMW
Biggest Metal Waste
HONDA
Had One, Never Did Again
Hang On, Not Done Accelerating
PONTIAC
Plan On Numerous Trips In Another Car
SAAB
Swedish Automobiles Always Breakdown
VW
Virtually Worthless

 

All I get are compliments for the Polar Whiteness, the RK-IIs or funny looks from plow truck drivers when I fly past them on snow covered roads.

 

funny looks from plow truck drivers when I fly past them on snow covered roads.

Eh, that's not an absolute slam dunk. I used to do that with the world's shittiest 1985 VW Cabriolet in Vermont one winter. That is, when it ran and wasn't killing the battery due to a belt issue.

Personally, I don't care. The fishbowl keeps it sleeper.

x2 on the sleeper appeal. In New England, I liked the OG9-3's ability to blend into similar Saabs piloted by a passel of orthodontists' second wives and overprotected prep school grads now at liberal arts colleges. Also, never been pulled over in the 9-3 despite some three digit runs on I-80. Now, those c900s? They're too distinct these days to have stuff slide with the po-po in my case.

Also, I used to get the "Oh you drive a Chevy Malibu" from some of the New London peeps (I'll let those playing along at home guess which ones) until, of course, they drove it. Seemed to cure that up right quick.

Oh yeah, then there was the tire tech who said, "You know, we have a 97 900 out back that just needs a reverse gear, you can have it for scrap price, seeing as it looks like your the only person who actually wants a SAAB.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing and almost did a deal like this for a parts c900 car but the guy wanted about twice the price of scrap for a severely, pre-crippled car. No sale.

All in all, I used to get pissed but now just shrug and figure they've never driven one.

 

too many doors

 

actually that's not funny.

castor?

 

Bitch, please.

 

LOL slow Slaab.

Family ride.

Some people just don't understand.

 

The people who don't understand are the folks who haven't taken the time to drive one.

 

Yep.

Mostly ignorant mouth breathers who have no clue.

 

On Honda Forums They seem to think we think too much of our "little bits of power"

 

It's the exact same way here...I'm sure quite a few people around here are honda haters.

 

Everyone says the 9000 is boring.
