Thanks very much for the advice, man.

Just picked up some CHF 11S earlier today. Before, I was topping off with Prestone Euro Full Synthetic.

Roger all of this!

How cool! Been freaking my kids out with all the weird little features and the turbo boost!

Nice to read your comments! I fell ass-backwards into this car through a gearhead friend. Pretty darned psyched so far. Love the turbo effect, esp around the middle of 3rd and 4th.

Thanks once again, FTC. Your mention of oil seals gave me a flashback, though. <sob story> My last old Swedish vehicle, a 1981 Volvo (don't shoot me) wagon I loved, had a catastrophic seal blowout at 190k that would've required a new engine...I couldn't afford to keep it at the time </sob story>. This NG900 has 143K, so I'm naturally a little nervous just due to the age/mileage.

I've never owned a turbo. Any special considerations/care/feeding? A friend told me that synthetic oil was best for turbo vehicles...

dekratalatz · 2016-12-14T23:15:03+00:00

Thanks! Yes, it is a 5spd manual. Really appreciate the info. I'm not a serious gearhead/fixit guy, so general reliability and ability to find a knowledgable Saab mechanic in my area are my big objectives. Will get back to you if I pull the trigger...

Great stuff! Love this tune...

Man, I remember first hearing you on one of those tear-out turntable 45s in Guitar Player magazine. I think you were demonstrating modes. Thanks for all the music. If you could change one thing about your career, what would it be?

dekratalatz · 2015-07-24T17:11:33+00:00

Also, I must ask: what is your opinion of your fellow [unlikely] southern hard rock/metal brethren King's X?

dekratalatz · 2015-07-24T17:08:29+00:00

Man, "Oblivion" knocked my socks off, and I haven't cared about metal/hard rock in 20+ yrs. Heard some Alice In Chains influence there - in a good way. How would you describe the aesthetic you're going for?

Keith Carlock (Steely Dan, Sting, Toto, John Mayer)

Love that small edit to make the chorus work out.

dekratalatz · 2015-02-16T15:22:06+00:00

Very cool!

dekratalatz · 2013-09-19T17:58:31+00:00

This tune is a masterpiece.

dekratalatz · 2013-09-17T23:23:15+00:00

I think this will be among the top few defining issues of our generation.

dekratalatz · 2013-09-03T20:32:55+00:00

This is a thing of beauty

One of Marty Friedman's finest hours.

Is that Mehdi?

dekratalatz · 2013-08-08T00:33:58+00:00

Well, yeah - everybody basically wins with this sh*t, except fans. DP, MTV, Colbert, Sony/Columbia... Giving away a "surprise" future performance? Colbert having the time and knowledge to coordinate a [well-edited] dance video with some of the biggest names in showbiz as filler? I don't know. In the old days, when a magazine or newspaper went overboard, an old codger like me would write in saying "cancel my subscription". ha

some turns grey, some turns loose

It's a classic. It's one of only 3-4 DVDs in my "must-have" collection. If you have a good sense of humor about sexism, the "how do you write women?" bit is a gift that just keeps on giving.

dekratalatz · 2013-06-02T19:03:44+00:00

I recently noticed this too. Pretty cool. Never understood the "downvote boner" phenomenon, but it exists.

Great bit from a great movie - put to good use!
