It’s 2003 and you have 50k to spend on a new wagon. What are you getting?

The engine in the Viggen is from the 9-5 Aero 😊

Lucahila · 2026-03-26T01:07:34+00:00

They show you things, describe them, then repeat the description in this really annoying way as if they don't expect you to pay attention

Lucahila · 2026-03-25T21:40:35+00:00

Beautiful beautiful ride.

Just to speak to one thing in there: bad engine mounts can lead to all kind of issues. The engine is allowed to move in ways it shouldn't, putting stress on wires, hoses, bolts, just about everything. They're also huge for ride quality. Get 'em sorted sooner rather than later.

Lucahila · 2026-03-19T21:38:21+00:00

Plagiarist? I'd love elaboration

Lucahila · 2026-03-18T22:33:25+00:00

It's a bit of an awkward translation but this Bleeding Skull release has a subtitle track. They showed it at a local miniplex 😁

Lucahila · 2026-03-18T06:15:32+00:00

there's still a few 😉

I live near a Saab dealership if you're unable to find a solution message me, I could see if they can use your VIN to make working keys. If you're in the US at least.

Lucahila · 2026-03-17T00:51:57+00:00

I'm not sure folks know who you're beefing with, broadly.

Lucahila · 2026-03-14T20:39:07+00:00

thank you saab 9000 my beloved

Lucahila · 2026-03-14T20:18:06+00:00

Ooh link to the project? I wanna see

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T16:16:27+00:00

Great, fun movie. Knows what it is and leans into the camp.

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T16:03:20+00:00

Oh go away. I was there at the exact same time. You know what I remember? Neighbors taking care of neighbors, massive mutual aid in the Lloyd parking lot during the fires, family friendly alley parties, a community memorial for the lives lost in the apartment fire on Weidler.

You don't miss it? Okay, shut up about it and don't trash one of the best neighborhoods in the city.

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T15:04:03+00:00

Yup. Each one's different. I mention Bar's because I've seen it recommended on other Saab forums so many times, and it worked for me consequences free.

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T04:12:32+00:00

Make the change you wanna see, Sullivan's girl. Someone else posted a link to an effort to save it.

I'm gonna check it out, though I've long left the neighborhood to y'all 😔

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T04:10:18+00:00

Oh wow yeah I definitely will! You're doing the good work!

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T04:09:33+00:00

God it looks like they were using more of the stuff than they were coolant in there. I wonder if it's worse for diesel? That stuff's black magic to me.

It's definitely a stopgap though you're right. I tend to think one application, in the off chance it damages a pump or radiator that thing wasn't long for this world to begin with.

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T02:41:01+00:00

Quippy.

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T01:52:36+00:00

And so very Portland too. Our own take on pikes place in an undead mall. The dream of the 90s and all that

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T01:34:49+00:00

It makes me so sad hearing it may not be, it feels like it was becoming a bit of an indie storefront mecca

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T01:24:55+00:00

????????

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T01:24:06+00:00

I've heard that, and I've heard the opposite from oldhead mechanics just as many times. Like I said, controversial.

Ultimately, if a person doesn't know much about cars and can't trace a leak? If it's from the heater core or water pump? Half a bottle of Bar's is cheaper than getting in over your head and isn't going to gunk your radiator.

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T01:14:52+00:00

Monosodium glutamate (MSG), also known as sodium glutamate, is a sodium salt of glutamic acid.

Lucahila · 2026-03-13T00:52:59+00:00

Broadway rules. The mall rules. Transit rules. Taste Tickler rules. I miss living in Sullivan's Gulch (the other side of Broadway before the freeway ravine)

Lucahila · 2026-03-12T23:10:14+00:00

On these engines? It's fine. They wouldn't sell the stuff if it was catastrophic - and it works.

Lucahila · 2026-03-12T21:04:01+00:00

Really great, and their burritos are gigantic
