    Ok I started this thread to get me moving on on the Saab. Now after getting the car running, this happens. At least the person was honest and left their insurance info. So the car needed to be painted anyway so it will happen now.

    OUCH! Be careful about the insurance, though. They're going to want to total it, because to buisiness school folks, it's just an "old car". I got hit in the Golf a year and a half ago, and ended up just paying for it out of my own pocket to keep a clean title. I ended up not getting a dime from the woman that hit me.

    OTOH since the person was nice enough to leave thier info, maybee you could contact them and get them to pay out of pocket to avoid the hit on thier insurance record.

    And on to the next low-volume Scandinavian supercar manufacturer! Well, it's good news for now. I was getting kinda depressed about losing Pontiac, Saab, and even Saturn (love the Sky) in one fell swoop.

    Well you guy saw the damage that was done to my Saab when the neighbor backed into it (pictures above). And I have been sad about it for months. Well I have finally started working on a solution. My friend Joel Barber of Barber Race Works hired a young new painter that can work within the budget of the insurance check. I am adding a little money and having the whole car sprayed. I am very excited to have the old car looking good again.

    I love me some classic 900... I am intending on ditching my NG this year and finding a REAL 900

    That's excellent news, snipes! I'm glad to hear it is getting fixed, and I hope to see it at Carlisle.

    This is my Sonett III. It's a sweet fiberglass body set atop a pile of rust.

    It was parked in 1984 when the owner got frustrated when the headliner fell on his head in traffic one afternoon. He had the transmission completely rebuilt by a dealership (I have the records) a couple hundred miles before it was parked. It was uncovered in a driveway in Indiana for twenty five years. As the window and hatch seals shrank, more and more water got in. The car is probably beyond saving now, sadly, but it looks damn cool sitting beside my garage. It'll probably donate some parts to my not-yet-started 95 restoration project, and I'll keep the body around for some twisted future project.

    that Sonett on a tube chassis would be sweet. It on my "list"
