So, it was cold and windy and bright here Saturday in Pennsylvania, but at least 45-55 Saabs gathered over at Kelly Saab in Lancaster. We hung around, ate some doughnuts and occasionally wandered outside to brave the weather to check out each other's rides.
By the plates, we had folks come from as far as Virginny and D.C. (taxation without representation, word) to hang out and then do a drive to a botanical gardens outside of Philly.
Here's what it looked like...

What would a Saab drive in Pennsylvania be without a busted Sonett?:

Cool dude-guy from Lancaster with his 1991 SPG:

The usual co-drivers in Amish country, perhaps this is why Saabtoberfest was always held in Northeast Pennsylvania:

Our fearless organizer, Julie:

Things will happen when DeLo gets behind the wheel of Little Red. Triple digit things:

So, I was standing around in the cold at Longwood Gardens and this fellow wanders up to me and says, "Hi, I'm Tim." Yep, Tim Colbeck flew in from Michigan and basically said it was impossible to know the exact fate of the company but that the spirit of Saab would live on in those of us who really, really love our cars.
This is Tim posing with us for a photo:

All in all, a cold but good day hanging out with the cars we love.
