This is just a simple blog where I share my thoughts and experiences with the SAAB 9-5. The majority of what is posted here is my opinion.

I own a white 2000 SAAB 9-5 2.3t with automatic transmission and 83k miles on it. I purchased the car in the fall of 2006 with 60k miles on it.

I only recommend products and merchants I have used. I post how-to instructions for SAAB 9-5 maintenance and projects (these are things I have really done myself and are here for anyone who may be attempting the same project). I share my impressions on all sorts of topics, give my opinion, and I am always careful to site the sources of any figures and facts I post.

I am by no means an expert, especially on topics outside of my personal experiences. But I am always happy to receive feedback, input, questions, or requests for clarification. I would suggest doing this by posting a comment in the specific thread because there are likely other people with similar questions or suggestions as you. This will improve the flow of information on the website; I figure there are other people out there that might be better able to help you and they can then reply too.

SAAB is very new to me, but I was raised in a car family. My parents rallied their 1970 240z with the SCCA back in the 70s and 80s. My father raced Formula-V before that.  I spend most evenings in middle school with my dad in the garage while we worked on his 1949 Willies Overland Jeepster. In high school I wrecked the family’s Thunderbird SC while racing dad on his Buell S2T motorcycle (he won, the car was put back together). There is then over a decade of non-automotive-centric time where I grew up, started a career, got married, and now I have picked up the wrench again.

Please keep the conversations intelligent and respectful to me and any other commenters. I like an old fashioned flame war and OMG-internets drama as much as the next person, but this is not the place for it.
