Hi Ryan,
You sent me an email about how to contribute to the cost of running your site and wanted to make a (small) contribution, do you accept PayPal? I really enjoy the SAAB videos that you have collected.

Ryan- Thanks for all your hard work, your fellow Saab fans appreciate it! I’ll try getting some shots of Saabs here in DC and send them in for you. Fingers crossed I’ll get something good…

Ryan,

It’s great to see what you are doing with the website! I check it every day. I’ve bought a lot of the books. Thanks for the links. However, I cannot find out through Saab USA about the availability of any of the Saab Automobile AB published books and how to obtain them. I really want to get the Aero X book for my desk. Can you help me?

Thanks again,

Stephen Bayers

Hi Ryan! Wow, still busy as ever with Saab work… you cross my mind a lot and when you do, I always imagine you doing something for Saab organizations! :) I hope you are well, and that your holidays are off to a good start!

A very, very interesting site! Nice to look at all these videos. Raised with a lot of SAAB and VOLVO’s in my family. Right now I’ve got a SAAB 9000 CSE 2.3T ’95. Keep up the good work… I’ll be back :)

Ryan,
Thanks for introducing yourself to me while I was unloading my white “92″ 900 turbo. I was on R St. in Dupont Circle. I really enjoyed our chat. I had no idea I was part of such a substantial community of Saab lovers. The original body really holds a particular charm for me. It’s been in my family for years. We’ve made countless trips to Vermont with dogs, ski’s, etc. I can write more about that at another time. It is, however, getting to the point where it is starting to need more and more upkeep. Plus, I have some cosmetic things (like a new headliner) that really needs to be done. The quotes I have gotten…have been a bit steep…especially when there are things that need to be done that are more pressing. I will be looking into this sight for some guidance and resources.

Thank you so much for sharing this with me.

Regards,
Joanne Friedenson, Dupont Circle.

I can’t see any movy because there are errors on this page. I can see other Google videos, but not from this site. Do I need to install a special player?

Hey Man,

Thanks for dropping by the blawg where I in turn was praising your vids!

Didja’ find that one I mentioned on SAABnet with the 99 rollover?

Peace.

Great website, would love a link exchange to my http://www.93forum.com

Hello again!
I’m still amazed by your wonderful updates with SAAB.
This is my favourite site:)
We’ve got international talk at my other favourite site..
http://forum.saabturboclub.com/
There you can ask your desired questions and get good answers! :) I’m not sponsored, just an SAAB man…
Keep, as always, up the good work :)

Ive just tonight discovered this site. I have MUCH yet to read and check out. But Im so happy to find it all, I had to make a comment. My first car at 16 years old (in 1973) was a Saab 96. My friends wanted Mustangs and Camaros, but when it snowed, my Saab was the car that made it up the hill to our high school. I have this great memory of one friend, driving a Gremlin, stuck sideways at the bottom of the hill. I barely spun a wheel as I drove around him, laughing and giving him a ‘beep beep’. That Saab took me through high school and 2 years of college before the poor thing gave in to the ravages of upstate NY’s salty winters. I was hooked on Saabs and front wheel drive when everyone I knew still considered both an oddity. I had a V4 95 wagon after that, but it was never as much fun as the 2-stroker. Tried to stay in the family after that but $$$ and Saab moving ‘upscale’ forced me into Japanese cars after that. Many Nissans and Subarus later, I have lately been pondering finding a Saab as a project. I met a man at a car show last summer with a pristine 1966 Saab 96, exactly like mine except yellow instead of gray, and he got me really thinking about finding another. I wasnt sure how the old 3 bangers would run on todays unleaded, ethanol blend gas, but his was ‘ring ringin’ just fine, and I became real enthused. Finding this site tonight just got me more stirred up. Long time auto tech here, at a Nissan dealer for my whole career, but I want a 2 stroker Saab again.

Ryan, Ive read a bit more on this site. I’d love to correspond with you if you’d like. I have so much more to tell about the 2 strokers. I actually owned a yard full of parts cars back then, including a pair of 93′s with the suicide doors. (one was nearly mint, rust wise…..hindsight is 20/20….I’d kill for that car now!) And way before that, my uncle drove the early cars when they were new. (I have a black and white photo of myself, as a barely walking-age baby, standing in front of his white ’63) At one point collecting parts, I inherited the old factory service manuals for the 93 series, I BELIEVE they still exist at my dad’s house. Im just so enthused to find a site so dedicated to more than the GM owned recent cars… (sorry, but I have no interest after GM’s influence) sustain@frontiernet.net if you have any interest in interacting, or can steer me to a 96 2-stroker!

jesus, I feel like an idiot, but I got to post one more. The picture of myself in front of my uncle’s car….his car could not have been the ’63 I remembered…. must have been an earlier one, since I would have been 6 in 1963, and Im much younger in the pic. Maybe its a 93? I can only see the grille in the picture

Doug,

Hello. This is very nice to hear from you! You sound like such a Saab enthusiast like many of us here too!

Please respond, I’d love to hear more including photos, videos or anything else you’d like to write about here!

I’m very happy to know you stumbled upon my site and hope to hear from you soon.

Best,

Ryan

Thank you folks!

Ryan

Hello…I’m looking for information (a short overview/comparison?) of SAAB’s high-performance cars (SPG, Viggen, Aero, etc). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Jim Warford

Jim,

There was a post here about the Saab 9-3 Turbo-X Versus the Viggen, have you seen that one?

R

Ryan

Back again! love your site…always promoting it even if im a volvo owner these days… thank ya for keeping SAAB in memory for the next days! GM kicks butt with whatever they like….glory to big business…. Have a nice 2010 all!

Hi Ryan, this is a very beautifull website. I love Saab so much. We work in the car accessories and our first business are armrests for Saabs. For this I am in contact with many, many Saab owners around the world. I hope Saab have a new very long life.

very sad. I knew GM’s influence would not be a good thing. Lets remember the glory days! My ’66 2-stroker was my first car. Loved that car and the V4 95 that followed, so Im no stranger to the brand.

SAAB IS SAVED BY SPYKER!

Hi, do you have a PDF with SAAB’s history?

I am a Saab. But no relation with SAAB’s car.

My last name is Saab.

Could you please send it to me?

Ricardo,

That’s quite a steep request. I think this website serves that purpose well.

You are really looking for a family history with the last name Saab, so you may look to an ancestry website instead of an automobile one.

Good luck.

Ryan

Glad that you’re OK, Ryan, but I’m bummed to see you’re taking an indefinite break from Saab History. Sounds like you’re really burned out, which is understandable. It’s been an incredible 18 months for Saab and you’ve worked almost as hard as Jan and Victor to guide the brand through the turmoil. I’m sure I speak for the entire Saab community in saying that Saab History has been a treasure of information and inspiration. Thank you for all your hard work. I hope, after your break, you find renewed strength to carry on with the site. Failing that, I hope you can find someone else to continue the mission you’ve started, although I doubt anyone could match your dedication. Good luck in whatever you do.
