Q: What's a VSAAB?
A: "V" for vintage, "SAAB" for, well... SAAB! The
word Vintage in this case is used as an adjective meaning venerable, or classic.
Without getting into the many possible definitions for the word "classic",
suffice it to say that many enthusiasts of early SAAB automobiles would agree that these
machines could be described as both venerable and classic.
Q: What's with the
capitalization? I thought Saab stopped capitalizing the name of their company years
ago.
A: They did. I guess that's the point. VSAAB deals exclusively
with vehicles that were manufactured when the acronym was still an acronym.
Q: Who's at the wheel?
A: Chris Rogers (that's me) is the founder and webmaster of VSAAB and the moderator of
The Vintage SAAB Mailing List. He also runs the San Diego SAAB Owner's Group and is
the webmaster for the SDSOG site. At last
count he had six SAABs in various conditions at his home and in his shop in San
Diego:
two Sonetts, a 96, a 95, an SPG and a 900T.
Q: What's all this
about a VSAAB Membership Program?
A: The idea is that some of us are more enthusiastic about our SAABing
than others. For us, there could never be enough SAAB stuff. A paid
membership would provide the funds needed to expand the VSAAB offerings for
those who really wanted it. Trouble is, funds are only half of the
problem. The other half (time) has been my enemy for over a year
now. I sincerely hope that I can soon rearrange my time in order to have
more to spend on developing and maintaining a VSAAB membership program.
When I can, I will -- and you'll hear about it if you subscribe to The Vintage
SAAB Mailing List.
Q: How is VSAAB supported?
A: Through classified ads on the website, parts sales and donations from vintage SAAB
enthusiasts like you! I donate my time in keeping the site up-to-date and running
The Vintage SAAB Mailing List. List subscribers and others who benefit from the
information and ads on the site send donations which are used solely to cover the costs of
the list software and the hosting of the website. Your help keeps VSAAB from costing
