Over the years, I can recall meeting other Saab owners and enthusiasts, especially from the more Northern regions of New England, such as Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine that really seemed to have that independent spirit and mindset who were totally against the conventional. From the trips to the beaches, to the weekends at the ski areas and all of the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and LL’Bean visits one can encounter, I can recall a distinct ideal that has forever resinated in my mind. This ideal seemed to be omnipresent whenever surrounded by these Saab owners as being some of the most unique, intelligent and independently minded people in my life. This is one of the key reasons behind my founding of the New England Saab Association back in 1997, the 50th Anniversary year for Saab Automobile which held their Saab Owners Convention in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.
