    Ryan,
    Great Job with the Saab Rally! I couldn’t make it from NE Ohio due to work, but if you wish to have another when the officials from Sweden’s government are there next week, I won’t miss it. We may even drive both our Saabs.
    Only work could stop me, my 2008 9-3 Aero Sportcombi XWD will drive through any weather!

    Thank you Ryan for putting the rally together. There sure will be a lot of press in Detroit for the International Auto show. Any plans for another rally, maybe on a weekend day whilst the show is on ? I know that time is running out fast, but there may be another opportunity there to make an impact. And that way SAAB will have a presence at the show, a very enthusiastic presence. And Spyker will be there too ! I hear that Victor Muller will be there. Just a thought.

    Email the GM Board of Directors!

    Here are the email addresses for a few of the GM Board of Directors. Please, email them ASAP and ask them to sell Saab to Spyker, rather than closing it down!

    Daniel Akerson: daniel.akerson@carlyle.com

    David Bonderman: dbonderman@tpg.com

    Erroll B Davis Jr: chancellor@usg.edu

    Great work Ryan -

    job really well done and appreciated by a lot more people than you may ever be aware of.

    and big thank you to Cathi of JMK, our beloved north east dealer in NJ for supplying the Saab banner, filling the tank and scrubbing the little Turbo X for the journey.

    Thanks too Andy for the GM Director email addresses, be good to get those out to all the sites.

    Ryan, Drove my Turbo X to my SAAB dealer in Ann Arbor Mi this evening. He got me right in for my scheduled maintenance and it took only one hour for tire rotation,oil change and 27 point inspection. My dealer in Ann Arbor loves SAAB and treats his SAAB customers like they were a king. As I sat in his office ( not the customer service area) the entire time, I showed him your website and he was very very impressed. He has two full time mechanic’s that work only on SAAB cars. They both drive SAAB cars. This dealer in addition to selling SAAB, sells Cadillac and Chevrolet but they love their SAAB’s. Great job with the PR, let’s hope Bernie Ecclestone ( not sure how to spell his name) can help get SAAB SOLD !!!!
