Me too.

Dammit, you stole my comment!

As a matter o' fact, I can't right now think of ANY transmission of information that doesn't involve a transmission of energy. however small it might be.

heeey, wait a second... that looks just like a planet I went to grade school with!

Indeed it was 1998. But I'm talking about a Saab 900 CLASSIC. Last year was 1993 except for the convertible which saw a 1994 model year while they readied the NG900 convert. And, for sure, a rear drive v8, the saab is NOT. The M3, Vette, Camero and Cobra are not peers of the saab. not even close.

But I'm not talking about "performance tuned automobiles" either, I'm talking about "performance oriented driving" I'm talking about classic and just plain Fun To Drive. Think 280z, BMW 2002, miata, Spitfire, original RX7, 80s 3-series BMW. It's about more than 0-60 and skidpad. It's about sound and the feel of the road through the wheel and seat. It's about clutch fell, seats, shift throw, predictability, understeer/oversteer. In the 900t, it was about watching the boost gauge creep through the yellow toward the orange while you were pressed back in your seat, then shifting fast enough that you could leave the gas on the floor and then enjoying the process all over again- watch, shift, repeat.

So, while our standard for performance is the same (i like to melt tires too), our standard for "fun to drive" may be a bit different.

86 900t 89 900SPG 92 9000 cse turbo.

and I loved them all.

But it's a pain when the Valet guy has to come to your table to ask how to move you car from in front of the door!

Instead of a steering lock it had a transmission lock.

You've never driven a 900 Turbo. I don't want you coming back saying you have- or that you owned a dozen. You've proven that you have never driven a 900 Turbo. Now, if I've piqued your curiosity, be sure to look for a manual trans.

It's gone from there. But it's here: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=516271617407&ref=mf. That's just an incredible stroke of luck that somebody got that recorded. well, not for the owner - it kinda debunks his claim to his insurance company of a low flying pelican.

You think this bad? Sure now they are just monitoring the rate of your child's cardiopulmonary development. and perhaps worse yet, they are probably going to compare your child to all the other children based on this metric. But this is just the tip of iceberg! I know how these public schools work. In a few weeks time you'll get notice that they have also been tracking your child's mental and cognitive development!! And, per their M.O., comparing your child to all the other children. They'll probably even have your child get up in front of all the other children and perform some sort of demonstration or cognitive feat. I've even seen cases where they administer tests and enter the results into your child's permanent record. Let's just hope and pray that the laws of the land will prevent these so-called "tests" from falling into the hands of potential future employers. Or, god forbid, future high schools.

I've never used a compass and signal meter to install an air filter... Then again, I'm a bit of a cowboy when it comes to air filters. Like to shoot from the hip. Ya know.
