You know you're a SAABrallist if.....

[DrewP]

- You entered the Concourse d'SAAB at one of the SOC's with a dirty 900 with peeling clearcoat and a dead bird stuck in the grille

Hah, we both did that at SOC09, didn't we? I didn't have a bird, but I hadn't washed my faded black car in at least 4-5 months at the time, and had just driven it to Denver from LA.

If you have more Sport & Rally and Momo wheels than you do Saabs.

Finding a set of square hole steel wheels at a Pick n Pull really gets your blood pumping.

You have saabs and parts stashed at various friends, relatives, and the in-laws homes

That you will never relinquish your Saab parts stash.

That you worry more about what will happen to your Saab/parts collection after you die more than death itself.

[sweedspeeduk]

- You wonder what CAR Erica was working on in the pic .................

Your car did look a little gross in Colorado
At SOC 2000 Seth entered his '87(?) 900 base model which I think may have been Rosequarts at one point. The clearcoat was peeling, it was dirty, and on the way to SOC he had hit a bird and it was stuck in the grille. He was given a new award, "Most Offensive"

.......The local SAAB specilist AND main dealer ring you for advice / parts !

haha, been there... on all accounts!

-In the photo of Erica out behind the Compound, you wonder why she didn't go find a work bench to set the spring compressor on to get it up higher to work on.... rather than looking at her ass.

on the other hand, perhaps there is some hope for me... I wasn't concerned about the mechanical operation...

[squaab99t]

you balance piston, conn rod, wrist pin, and fasteners individually with in .2 of gram and as a whole assembly.

you understand how Loc-tite 518 kicks off and leaves the cap off the tube.

[BIRDIEMANGO]

-

- Stig Blomqvist signed the sun visor in your EMS
- You take scrap polycarbonate, aluminum, and stainless steel sheets home from work because you know you'll have a use for them
- You have a picture of Eric Carlsson grabbing your girlfriend's boob

GUILTY ON 3 COUNTS........

[ReinO]

-You got a tribute to SAABs rally history on your shoulder.



Oh yeah, it's real alright.

[DrewP]

NICE.

This is mine:

[TunnanXWD]

If you still scan Craigs' and start to dial the number for Shelby or Mini-Lites even though you don't have anything to put them on.

But you will, I think.

[TunnanXWD]

You wore you Saab 95 Grille T-shirt to the National TVR convention "Out of The Woodwork".

[sjones]

... you detected the 99 in the stack before the light turned green.
