Welcome! You came to the right place if you ran it in a Mercury Marquise.

Oh another Saab story. I bought and sold over 40 of the old Saab's in one year. My keeper was a Grand Treasmo (sp). All I have left is the grill and possibly its Solex racing carbs. Also owned the one shown in a history book of Saabs. The one pic showing a 3 or 5 I think on a pic of ones in the first shipment to the US.

Interesting stuff! I have no idea how many I've bought and sold,, but I don't think I'd feel very good about myself if I added them all up.

You'll fit in just fine here.

Alright, you nick alludes to possible coolness. Do you in fact have a turbo slant-6? Inquiring slant-6 owners want to know.

No. The number was given me when I first got a computer and attempted to use Turbo as a screen name. Funny thing though I have owned a 256 cu in Inline six in a 70 Mustang since 1980. I dubbed it 256GT. Has about 300 HP non turbo.

CAD?

or CAR?

I'm guessing you suffer from 'happy fingers' from time to time.

Anyway, yeah...simple. You dig out the floor of your garage without a permit. Then you get far enough underground that you can start a car-supporting tunnel, and go to town digging. Soon you'll have room enough for all your neighbors' cars as well as your own. Then get Mike Holmes to come in and fix your boo-boos and give you an elevator large enough to shuttle cars up and down. Like I said: simple.

Or not...

Yes, you can add another car to the garage. I'm not sure how though, I've never tried. I really should do that though seeing as the car in my garage is not the car I'm currently driving.

You can have several cars in your (virtual) garage.

Allowing only one car would not suit many of us here!

You can add a ton of cars. Some users have even added pets and plastic models to their garage.
