91 9000

 

'07 9-5 Aero, however I drive my '11 Fusion SEL AWD (company car) most of the time since I drive a lot for work... Hence having a company car. lol

 

1994 Saab 900se turbo. Just got it out when the Viggen was put away. Well, it won't be driven in snow, but I do like the cold weather on occasion with the Viggen. You know how turbos like the cold.

I have to admit that the 900 has seen better days. Rust is extreme at this point. So much so that I just covered it with a bad puddy job until I can get the whole car re-painted.

I'd post a recent photo, but I don't want anyone to see it. Here's an old one...

Check the knobbies on it. I'm going to get th same tires this year. "Winter force" excellent tire for snow and I got four good years out of them.

 

ill be in my 2008 9-3 or my GF's 2006 MINI Cooper S. both with rockin snow tires on them.

 

Rockin' my year-round '03 9-5 Arc on no-seasons. But, hey, its southern Indiana, we may get nothing, or completely shit on with snow...if that happens I'll borrow the 4WD Suburban. lol

 

I alternate the days with these two now that my white vig project is complete. We got 4 inches of snow today!

2004 Volvo XC70 for those deep snow days - otherwise I roll daily in the 1999 9-3 Stage 5, kids and all.

 

Stage 2 2000 Viggen and a 1989 Honda Transalp.

 

99 saab 9-3 x2, and 98 Jeep wrangler if it gets deep. I still ride my motorcycle if it's not too cold out.

My 2002 saab viggen is my winter car. Lets face it, these cars are pretty much going to be worthless so I could really care less what happens to it now. Ok, maybe not worthless.
I just don't see what the point is in storing a saab over the winter, I mean it's just a saab and it's an everyday driver.

 

Well, I understand what you're saying but disagree to some extent.

It all depends on how you look at it. Yes, a run of the mill 9-3 or 9-5 is a great daily driver, and lots are. However a Viggen/Turbo X/any other special edition/something you modified to hell and stuck a ton of money into I think deserves a little more care.

I won't drive my Viggen in winter because there aren't enough left to take one that's a pretty good example of a nice one and ruin it... But to each his own.

My Dad agrees with you though. A car is a car. Which is why the sales people at the European Dealership he keeps buying his cars at make this face :ahh: everytime he buys a car and says "yeah that's what I'm going to drive every day. The last one was his '99 996 Convertible (back in '01), then he had a few in the middle that weren't anything "special" and now it's his '09 SL550 Sport... And yes, he does add snow tires and drive them in winter. Then again he don't keep them more than a few years either.

 

I use my 90' 900S, fun to drive around in the snow:

 

I drive a Saab 'vert but in the Winter I swap to my other Saab 'vert.

 

1998 GMC Suburban 2500 with "fuck-you-winter" tires

 

I drive the same two Saabs year round: winter, spring, autumn and summer. I have no idea why on earth you would want a separate/different car just for Winter here. I also run the same tyres year round! Don't know of anyone here who would run diff tyres!

2002 9-3 Aero
1988 900 Aero

First day of Summer here today and it has already been over 38C (100F) yesterday!

 

My winter rig happens to be my fall, spring, and summer car aswell

 

Same here. My 2000 9-3 I bought on ebay for $900 works fine with high profile studded snows and is my DD with low profile tires the rest of the year. It had 51K when I bought it with front end damage. The VigVert does about 5K a year, as does the F150. Only 3 miles to work. I could walk.

2012 Impreza wagon, 5 speed. Haven't gotten snow tires for it yet but we'll see. Bought it brand new to beat up, so I can preserve my '83 c900. Makes perfect sense, right?

 

My DD also sees all of the winter action... stock 1999 9-3 SE with vikings and some snow tires (hopefully upgrading the DD to something AWD in the coming months)

The other 1999 (stage 5 E85) 9-3 stays in the garage.

 

97 4Runner.

 

1998 Subaru Forester Base Model, 2.5 N/A 5 spd, 190k

I've swapped in 2002 Impreza heated seats, wood dash, Momo STI Shifter, added the Roof rack.

It's great for winter but a necessity for the far more evil mud season up here. There are days my Forester barely makes it through the foot deep ruts, and all the SAABs are parked safe and sound.

Forester is getting a new rear subframe this week, she's a great car but likes to rust awfully fast.

 

'Bout time to revive this thread!

1998 Subaru Forester Base Model, 2.5 N/A 5 spd, 190k

Sold the Forester this Spring. Bought this to replace:
2001 Land Rover Discovery II.



It's been great so far!

 

I own one car.
