Satch Carlson also had a black 900 Turbo he ran the ALCAN rally in, around 1985, and it was a looker too.
I do. Those were so cool! Have a buddy that has a Saab Sonet. That’s a very unique and cool ride.

You drive a Subaru, live in the Pacific Northwest and lust over old Saabs. You know you are in denial about being an old Hippie. Do you hide your Birkenstocks when friends come over?

We got some snow this weekend and I added 100lbs of sandbags in the trunk. It helped out tremendously.
What kind of tires are you running?
Continental Pro Contact
I'm running Continental ExtremeContact
DWS06 on my G37x (all-wheel drive). For an all-season tire, they're surprisingly good in snow. That said, I'd rather run aggressive winter tires, but that's not in the cards for me right now.
I will get more aggressive tires for next winter. But our winter has been super mild
FYI - discount tire has the President's Day sale going on right now. I just snagged some new wheels/AT tires for the wife's 4Runner and was happy with the price.

Thanks for the info ROb. I just dumped a ton of cash on some Bilstein suspension for my Saab. So no funds.

The newer ones are nicer than the one we have. But we are still loving ours, and it absolutely hauls ass.

Long term review, we love this car! It straight up hauls ass! Not to mention you can fit 5 adults in it comfortably, and the trunk is bigger than what my Saab wagon has. Having a payment does suck but it is worth it on this car for me.
