[dingoBaby]

People from Vermont like Saabs. I don't know why but they do.

I had a Sonnett back in the 70's.

It was okay.

It was kinda slow and didn't really handle all that well, but at least it couldn't rust.

P.O.S

[3rd gen noob]

a friend of my family used to have one of the old Saab 900 Turbo's when i was younger.
that was a great car, very comfortable, reasonable looks and when that turbo came on boost, there was pretty good performance

i like the new 9-5 as well

[Snee]

MMM, I remember one great summer when we were driving over this bridge, and every few meters there was a saab 90 or 900 with an open bonnet and steam coming out, that was great!. :D

[RGX]

err, my dad has one of the new ones and it rocks, is that a turbo model in your pic, or a standard?

[Snee]

I guess the new one's ARE good performance-wise, but me, I just don't like the design.

Svenska Aero Aktie Bolaget or something like it, used to build airplanes and still do, that's what they're truly good at, although the last one, the JAS, crashed a whole lot of times before they'd perfected it.

Something about the onboard comp. fighting the pilot for control when pulling heavy g:s or in a stall. :)

stalling a car is a little different from stalling a plane...:P

[Snee]

You might be right :lol:

and the most g you can pull in a roadgoing car is approx 1.5 lateral
not exactly a comparison to 8 positive in a plane...:P

Hey 3rd Gen, like your new motor.

[Snee]

Luckily for me that I wasn't actually criticizing the way the the cars were built but how they looked then :P

What exactly do you study then? You are a student aren't you?

3rd:

How&#39;s your schedule look, mine consists of 6 to 8 hours of lessons a week and independent study in the form of assignments and translations calculated to last about 36-40 hours additionally (I&#39;m to take the equivalent of a masters in English, and become a Translator at the end of my studies).

Whereas my brother, who studies to become a computer-engineer has roughly the reversed rate of independent studies/lessons?

[3rd gen noob]

in first year, i was doing approx 3 hours of lectures a day with a lab of 3 hours once a week and generally two tutorials each of 1 hour a week

[Snee]

Which year are you on now? And what will you be?
