Post your best answers!

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

Keeping in the SAABrally spirit also open for consideration are:
1. lewd remarks about someones mom,
2. Commentary on range rovers, mini coopers or schwinn bicycles as appropriate or not appropriate

[Luke]

I'll start

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

- You can correctly identify the difference between a shelb, ronal, and minilite from more than 10 feet away or in a fuzzy craigslist ad.
- You have dreams about finding a rust free 99 ems, in the local junkyard, and in the dream they give it to you for being a nice guy.
- You save money on puzzles by installing limited slip diffs in your spare time.
- The primary purpose of your co-driver during a rally-x is to hold the shifter in 2nd gear.

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

- Non-MIL spec hardware just isn't good enough.
- You have a white painted engine bay
- You wear a bracelet that says WWLD?
- You've wondered if you have a container that can heat and hold molten aluminum
- Your business is a shell company for your SAAB collection
- You come to this site even if you've sold all of your SAABs
- Your web browser auto-fills in "saabrally.com/forums" when you press the "s" key in the address bar



edit:thought of another

- You have a SAAB where a large percentage of parts is from another SAAB....from a different year....and completely different model

You have a 2500 sq foot warehouse, and still have car shit piled up outside.

The crazy cat lady makes fun of you for having so many car projects.

You live in constant fear of being a guest star on the television show "Hoarders".

You have 4 ongoing Saab project cars, and still spend hours on Allofcraigs scouring the country for that perfect 99 project.

You spend countless hours and dollars pretending to be an engineer when you can readily purchase commercially available parts.

The only time you can reach your SaabRally comrades is when they are supposed to be doing stuff other than wrenching on their cars,... (like holding down a job)!

[Luke]

- You consider anything with a 4x108 bolt pattern a "new SAAB"
- Your interpretation of Maslow's hierarchy goes like this : Food< Shelter< New Race Tires.
- You could shod a tractor trailer with minilites or soccerball wheels and still have a few sets to spare.

I don't know anyone like that

Your cat's name is Inca.
You kid knows what a Shelby is.
The sound of super-sonic gravel hitting aluminum is soothing.
You get a semi when you smell 101 octane.
The comment "That chick's got a whale-tail" conjures up a different image than for most folks.
You know that vent covers=speed.
You always brake with your left foot...manuals, autos, tractors....always.
Your signifigant other just shakes their head when they find "Another stack of wheels??? Really?"
Your kids wagon has rally stickers on it.
Your Christmas tree has Turbo emblems on it.

[Luke]

Haha, I knew Mike would be good for a few!

"Another stack of wheels??? Really?" I've heard those exact words

[Crazyswede]

your mom says things like: "so you spend all this money so you can go destroy your car in the woods?" or "I don't get it...you won't get on a roller coaster but you will race a motorcycle or ride in a rally car?"

Haha, so that would qualify me then. The good thing is, this dream, or better said a very similar dream, came true. More to this later.

I might have some more...

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

- You pull your gear box end engine more frequently than you perform oil changes
- Your in-laws second question after "how are you" is "how is the Saab"
- You have a bag you take to work that says Saab on it
- You create or receive personalized Saab items as gifts

Gift that my wife made for me

[airsweden]

If even most Swedish folks you meet think you might have a "problem".

If you get introduced as the guy driving that car out there with rollbars and numbers.

If you're a little gay for Sixten Sason... oops, did I say that out loud?

[airsweden]

P.S.

Micheal Jordan Corleone Pagano,

I do still have 20-odd Shelby wheels.... stashed 7 miles below the Earth's surface in a top secret bunker in Portsmouth NH.

Does that make it ok for me to troll around these here internets?
