Re: You know you're a SAABrallist if.....
- You consider spending as much on a gearbox as you could on an entire VW, Ford, or Honda rally car
- Your wife encourages you to use a cracked Shelby for a garden hose reel
- You replace the "Charbroil" emblem on your grille with a "SAAB" emblem
- Stig Blomqvist signed the sun visor in your EMS
- Everybody else thinks your skidplate is overkill, you think it's not enough
- You consider generating tables and graphs of gear ratios a good use of your time at work because you're practicing your engineering skills
- You use the word "yump" in (what you consider to be) normal conversation
- You take scrap polycarbonate, aluminum, and stainless steel sheets home from work because you know you'll have a use for them
- You co-drive for a rally car that isn't a SAAB and people still think your name is Luke
- You brag about cracking a Soccerball and your friends know what you're talking about
- You encourage your boss to buy you Computational Fluid Dynamics software because you know you could put it to good use designing a header or intake
- You look through your dresser and have a hard time finding a T-shirt that doesn't say "SAAB" on it and a harder time finding one that doesn't have an oil stain on it
- You have a picture of Eric Carlsson grabbing your girlfriend's boob

Re: You know you're a SAABrallist if.....
- you have boxes and boxes of old Saab shit that you think you might need some day.
- you take a photo of Erik Carlsson snuggling up against your girlfriend and you are happy with the image.
- a boxed A arm with flanged holes is sexy looking.
- you spend 2 hour moving everything around to get your 99t garage queen out, install a baby seat,take your family to a Saab bbq (with free food) for 2 hours, and then putting all the crap back...

Re: You know you're a SAABrallist if.....
- You have a place in your garage where you "proudly" display everything you've broken on your racecar.
- That place has a cutesy name. (e.g. "Wall of Shame", "Rafter of Disaster")
- You know for a fact that a trailer can be drifted.

Re: You know you're a SAABrallist if.....
Stephan's comment about the trailer reminded me of one:
- You come home from work on a snowy night and perform a perfect Scandinavian Flick as you turn onto your road (as you normally do) only to realize you're not driving your SAAB but a Ford E350 Diesel

Re: You know you're a SAABrallist if.....
-You bought your first 99, only to promptly tear it completely apart to build into a "racing" 99 3 weeks after discovering this forum.
-You actually worry that the first time you meet The Luke in person, you will blurt out something embarassing
-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.
-You are constantly being informed of yet MORE things that you need to start stockpiling to keep your cars alive
-Your reliable DD is NOT a brand new Japanese car (for a multitude of reasons, including but not limited to knee-jerk reactions of "eeeeEEEEEEEWWWWwwwwww!!!!!")

Re: You know you're a SAABrallist if.....
- 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
I can answer that question about the spring compressor on the workbench but if you saw the inside of Charlie's shop you'd understand...
