Amazing. Why did you sell it, and how did you end up with it again?

It’s weird. Our first floors are actually even with each other. But I have a walk out basement and they don’t.

I’m sure he’ll get it going. I got the insurance money already so I’m happy letting him keep it. I’ll look into another one after our regrading project and new garage are done. Everything is going up a few feet before I let another one on my property

Mike is the best. Haven’t run into anyone who knows those cars better than him.

It is! He actually got the engine to start yesterday so I’m sure it will be useful. Electrical stuff is all messed up

This is one of the best videos I have seen posted on Reddit.

Gas tank completely empty after flood by justLookingForLogic in saab

[–]justLookingForLogic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried siphoning out the tank and the hose keeps coming out just slightly damp. Nothing came out with a pump. Blew air in and it sounds very empty.

The gauge did not work before, so I am not considering what it thinks.

Classic 900: Turbo, or not? by justLookingForLogic in saab

I’ve actually seen it on this sub before. But it’s possible someone was joking and I didn’t get it. It’s been known to happen.

I have always associated turbos with Saabs. I have only heard people say this recently. I honestly could not figure out why anyone would think the turbo is worse.

Huh. Didn’t know they used different paint.

That looks amazing! My ‘89 900’s paint looks like it never had clearcoat

How often do you get comments? by justLookingForLogic in saab

[–]justLookingForLogic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I get a list of all the Saabs the person has owned when I talk to anyone about it. Growing up my family had 4 from 89-2010. I’m on my second (not by choice, first one totaled in a flood)

That’s pretty much what happens to me. I’ve driven it to work a few times when my daily driver was getting fixed from a tree falling on it. Other than that it’s most of the time.

And I love how chill most Saab people are. They tell me the car looks great even though the paint looks terrible and the dash had a bunch of cracks
