My "stingray" bike was a knockoff -- the Schwinns were expensive and it was my second bike, bought with summer job money. I wanted to do wheelies and beat the heck out of it, and that's what happened. Seat risers both broke once and slapped me down onto the rear tire! Near disaster. |

So it finally happened. Went to pickup a piece of furniture and the kid (21 years old) hoofing the box in my car took a step back and said .... "What kind of car is this man????". I said I bet you never heard of it, it's a Saab. "A what now". Saab. BLANK STARES. Cool car man, cool car.
It's a 2008! |

When I was stationed in Germany in the mid-80s, the DMark/Dollar exchange rate was incredible. It got to 3.74DM per dollar at one point. The PX Saab dealer would sell you a Saab 900S or 900 Turbo in DMarks, so it was cheap as hell for GIs. The deal included a paid trip to Sweden to watch your car being built and then you drove it back to Germany. Our unit had lots of Saabs in the parking lot.

Forgot all about the wood burning things. Can't imagine those passing muster these days.

Remember...there were stenciled wood squares that after burning the outlines you painted them with the supplied water color discs and paint brush. Also...note the Underwriters Laboratory Approved label.
