  • From the article:

    On this page you will find a little story about some (crazy?) nordic people, an old SAAB 900 Classic 5-door and a common desire to have a sauna. This is not the first sauna in a SAAB, I know of at least one SAAB 96 made into a sauna in Finland. However, this is probably the only sauna built into a Classic 900...

    This combines almost everything the stereotypical Scandinavian is known for ... SAAB, sauna ... they're missing a Volvo, but who wants a square, boxy sauna?

    Not to mention the "bouncing Swedish funbags" (whatever they are!)

    Seriously, though, in an icy-cold climate this takes car-heating to the MAX - kinda like case-modding with l33t h4x0rs. What next from the crazy Nordic fold? I'm almost scared to find out (but I think it'll involve rally-driving saunas)

    • (but I think it'll involve rally-driving saunas)

      I'd hate to be in a collision, though. All that water would seriously add to the mass of the vehicle. Since the mass moves, it would be a really odd collission...the cars hit--but don't bounce apart until a few seconds later.

    In Sweden they sit around in artificial steamy heat indoors then plunge into the Winter cold. In Washington DC we walk around in steamy Summer heat and then plunge into artificial cold.

    Actually, there is no reason for most Americans (in the South anyway) to have a complex about not being as tech savvy as Swedes because we already have the artificial cold built into the car, and we can drive them.

    If the AC isn't cold enough to give small children headaches and fog up your glasses, it's not cold enough, d#$@% it.

    Actually, I'm poking good-natured fun at both cultures here. Frankly, the Summer ice-box mentality here in the US is something that I've come to dislike. Not only does it waste a lot of energy, but I've heard some theories that kidney disease has increased because we don't sweat as much as we used to--all the stuff that used to get sweated out gets taken care of by the kidneys and puts more stress on them. I haven't seen any studies to back that up though.

    The hot to cold transition that Swedes practice is something I don't think I could tolerate. I've tried turning the shower nozzle to cold, and I could just feel myself starting to go into shock. I guess if I had been doing it from the time I was a little boy that wouldn't happen.

    Do most Swedes dunk in ice-cold water after a sauna, or are there some people who can't tolerate it? I think if I went there, I could handle the nudity part, but then I'd have to pass on the cold water which might actually be more embarrassing if everybody else is doing it.

      As a finn I must comment before 99% of Slashdot readers think that Sauna is from Sweden and swedish are the "sauna people" of scandinavia.

      Sauna is originally from Finland and the sauna density in Finland is the highest in the whole universe. (not sure but maybe 1 sauna for every 3 habitants?)

      Also in most saunas outside of Finland (in which I've been) the temperature is too low (under 80 degrees C) with some pleasant exceptions of course. In some saunas abroad it's not even allowed to throw water on the stow (thats löyly).

      The Sauna culture is really a bit more than just "lets heat up this room and get swetty".

        More about that: "Sauna" is the only Finnish word that has become a common loan word in other languages. The Swedish word for it, "bastu", makes more sense though since it's derived from "bad-stuga" (in ancient Nordic-speak), which translates roughly to "bath cabin".

      Actually, swedes don't know much about Sauna. I've seen horrible examples of this when visiting sweden. Some "saunas" in there are only mildly warm, like +40C only - and people just sit there and read newspapers.
      Some swe-saunas have air exchange ventilation into room next door, which whill definately cause problems with moisture if the sauna is used properly.
      Generally it seems, that in those houses that have sauna in sweden, they use it for drying clothes. Drainage has seldom taken care of.

      In Finland, we have long traditions of using sauna as a place to sweat the dirt and stress out and wash up.
      The idea is not to punish and abuse ones body, just to sweat, relax and get clean.

      THE SAUNA-HOWTO:

      1. Heat up the sauna up to +70C..+100C (up to you)
      2. Undress, wash up
      3. Climb up to the seats on the sauna (feet above the level of stones in stove)
      4. Toss some clean, warm water onto stones. Control the amount of steam up to your liking by tossing more or less water into stove. Keep the moisture up!
      5. Sweat for a while, if you feel too hot, step down from the seats and wash the sweat off. Chill down for a while. (Don't go into cold water or snow straight away. Might be bad if you have a heart condition hiding.)
      6. When you feel like it, repeat steps 3-5.
      7. When you feel that you are ready, wash up well.
      8. Dry yourself, take some time relaxing and cooling down before dressing up.

      Remember to drink alot of water to replace the water you lost by sweating!

      And for you who live in hot climate: after sauna, that heat outside doesn't feel that hot anymore.
      • After reading this post, I just couldn't help myself from answering.

        Why do I get the feeling you are finnish? :)
        If you haven't realized it yet, people from finland don't really like swedes, and the same goes the other way around.

        I think this goes for a lot of neighbouring countries though. The US is the fifth canadian territory, right? :)

        Anyways, the point is that saunas in Sweden are not bad. The bad examples you gave is something I have never come across, and I lived in Sweden for over 18 years. There is even a sauna in my dad's house back in Sweden, and we always heat it to about +80C.
      • Actually, swedes don't know much about Sauna.

        Unfortunately I have to agree...at least public saunas at gyms and so on. You usually have to pour a bucket of water over them (a little bit at a time) and wait half an hour for the element to reheat to get a decent warmth.

        Other things not hot enough in Sweden for me are the summers...and Thai food!

    • It can, and does, exceed 40 degrees celcius (104 degrees farenheit) almost every year and has been know to climb as high as 47 degrees. In Phoenix (just north of here) it has reached 50 degrees before. I think you can see why airconditioning might be rahter essential. If noithng else, computers will die in that kind of heat.

      I got used to sauna's when staying (for a change) at a great hotel week after week years ago. I'd work out a bit at night (they had a huge gym) and after I'd messed myself up a bit, hired one of their trainers a few times to get some routines that wouldn't bother a pulled muscle. He suggested the sauna as well. (Finnish? Swede? I don't know, he came with the accent, but I don't know which one.) No cold lake with ice, but ice cold shower afterwards. (actually, alternating showers afterward but first was ice cold). The nudity wasn't a bid deal but the ice cold shower. That DID take some getting used to. But that's the one time I missed a place when the assignment was done after spending about six months there. I never had a period of time where I'd slept better (being the insomnia type usually) and also had more energy during the day.

    Well, I'm one of the proud builders. We, who built the SAUNAAB live far, far, far away from the nordic countries. At least almost 2000km (more than 1000 miles) away at least. So, since we miss our saunas soooo much, we just had to build one. The reason for it to end up in a SAAB is that one of the guys own more than 20 SAAB's already and one was up for the scrap yard (as Nordics we usually take care of this, not leaving it for coming generations in the back yard. ;=) ). We kind of thought of it as a cool idea. All work was done late evenings and week ends. No unemployment here... We have to take care of those anti matter particles daytime, you know. Well, the SAUNA experience in the SAAB is very good. The steam hits you harder in the small volume the SAAB offers than in bigger saunas. Anyone nearby Geneva is welcome to have a look. ;=) //magnus

    I am glad to see that most of you like what I and my friends built! It is actually a quite good SAUNA. We wanted a SAUNA and I had an "extra SAAB" available. Add some imagination and there you go... :-)

    Have a nice day all!

    Cheers,
    Magnus

  • This just confirms that Finnish people are mad. But especially about saunas. I worked in Finland for nearly a year. When I was looking round for a flat to rent, only about half of them had baths, but they all had saunas. One flat even had two saunas.
    But then, the offical figures are 1,500,000 saunas in a country of 4,500,000 people, so that's at least one per household.
    Where I worked, the main meeting room had a sauna next to it.
    You can even get saunas with full video conferencing or internet facilities now, for the executive who always needs to stay in touch (http://www.mediatampere.fi/sauna/).

  • ... this is the best use of a SAAB I have ever seen.

  • This page reminded me of a joke I read in Readers Digest many moons ago:

    A man buys a nice sports car and peels out of the lot. Driving along he comes to a red light, where he's sitting next to another guy in a nice sports car. The first guy leans out his window and says, "Hey, I've got a GPS Map display in here."

    The other guy is wholely unimpressed. "Yes, I have one of those."

    "Well, I've also got a DVD player and satelight TV."

    "I have those as well. But do you have a double bed in the back of yours?"

    The man was dumbfounded. Just then the light turned green, and the two cars peeled off. The man went straight back to his dealer.

    A couple weeks later he was driving along when he saw the other sports car pulled over along side the road. He pulled behind it and got out. As he approached the other car, he noticed steam rolling out and the windows all fogged up. He knocked on the window. No response. He knocked again and waited. Finally the other driver opened the door, clad only in a towel. The guy said, "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I got a double bed installed in my car."

    The other driver replied, "You got me out of the shower to tell me that?"
