[@OctoCarBuilds]

Super happy to have made it in the video and had a great time meeting you as well! 4:37 was me had that 2007 Saab 9-3 60th anniversary edition! Great video will love the more SOC videos coming out

[@AutoAutopsy]

nice car! thanks for coming out

[@Mackan134]

It really melts my heart, the love of Saabs got all the way over the pool

[@AutoAutopsy]

we love our Saabs here in the US!

[@PSB-900]

I miss going to SOC's. It's been several years. Maybe next year if it's in the North East. Thanks for sharing!

[@AutoAutopsy]

it will be in the north east next year - 100% worth the trip!

[@pizzabagerenmujaffa8123]

Your videos bring a tear to the eye on us scandinavians ...thank you .

[@AutoAutopsy]

glad you enjoyed!

[@joecutro7318]

Great video, Jacob! I was on my way Saturday morning and got 30 miles south of Seattle when I remembered a friends' 50th anniversary party that night. Alas, in spite of the urge to keep driving South, I did the right thing and turned around. 😢🤷🏻‍♂️ I knew this would be a great SOC as we have so many Saabaholics in the PNW. I really appreciate your video as I at least get to experience it vicariously and am now an SOC member. (Thanks for the extra 3 months referral credit.) 👍🏼🙏 Glad the 9-3 was trouble free! Looking forward to Part 2. 👍🏼🙏

[@AutoAutopsy]

Sorry you weren’t able to make it! I’ll have part 2 out tomorrow morning

[@coling7091]

Really enjoyed that. 06 Saab 93 Aero Northern Ireland owner. Look forward to the next meeting video 😊

[@AutoAutopsy]

nice! glad you enjoyed :) more coming next weekend - just finished editing it

[@racerboy2212]

Great video Jacob! I get to live the event vicariously through your eyes!

[@AutoAutopsy]

still sad you did not get to make it! it was a great time

[@Codric]

8:09 I picked this Aero up at the auction last summer for $200 non-running. I fixed it up using yours and Kyle's guides, and gave it to my mother in March. She's local to Portland, so I got to tour her around :)

[@AutoAutopsy]

awesome! $200...wow, what a deal

[@TheMistakenGarden]

9:30 thanks for showing off my convertible on your video. It’s a pretty nice car eh? Lol my boyfriend’s car was the one right after. ❤

[@AutoAutopsy]

loved the color!

[@knight6media]

Dream fulfilled- my car on the channel + meeting the goat himself. See you next time!!🫡🤝

[@AutoAutopsy]

it was great meeting and talking to you man! see you next year!

[@jbroadcast71]

As always, great video and amazing run down of all the SAABs in the lot! It was a great few days!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Yes it was! thanks!

[@da1fromdaheightz]

Saab paradise

[@yegorsolin4044]

[@bdlii]

You made it! 80s Fanny pack :)

[@AutoAutopsy]

the fanny pack is a VERY underrated accessory lol

[@DavidInglis-gf2iu]

Thank you for the coffee mug plug! Great video, as always.

[@JS-yj7ow]

Using the set I bought from you already myself!

[@AutoAutopsy]

[@ed.shorer]

Thanks for taking the time to shoot and post this video.

[@AutoAutopsy]

thanks for watching!

[@acejed4333]

It was good to meet you, saab on

[@AutoAutopsy]

likewise!

[@agfernicola]

Wish I got to go. Just got my first 9-5 aero wagon. Love it absolutely great car

[@AutoAutopsy]

nice. congrats on the purchase - I am sure you'll love it

[@JS-yj7ow]

Good to see my ‘92 vert at least got a full view at least in passing. Hope you got a chance to talk to Toby, the woman in blue that owns one of the red Sonetts. She had quite the story to tell.

[@AutoAutopsy]

I did not get a chance unfortunately - the amount of cars and knowledge at these events is truly astounding

[@bikeman4444]

Loving your enthusiasm from all the way over here in Scotland. Desperately trying to justify keeping two T16s hatch/convertible. Maybe I should be buying a Toppola...😂

[@AutoAutopsy]

Do it! 👀🤣

[@stevenlopez6682]

Cool cool

[@AutoAutopsy]

:)

[@notsure6304]

Bro, thanks for the video. I really wish I could have joined, but work......

[@AutoAutopsy]

It is 100% worth taking the time off!

[@notsure6304]

@@AutoAutopsy I work in EE automotive design and there is always something keeping me home. However, I do rally race 3 different SAAB 9-3's, that's about all I get time for.

[@CityTunes]

Great video! I miss my 2003 Saab 9-3 convertible it was the last year for that body. I'm looking for a SAAB 99 are they reliable and are parts hard to fine? Thanks!

[@AutoAutopsy]

Thanks! It’s a bit hard to say any 40-50+ year old car is reliable. Parts, to my knowledge, are mostly available but I am not sure

[@CityTunes]

@@AutoAutopsy How good are the V6 2.5 engine, I don't see a lot of them why?! I think they are non- turbo right, which may be better-less things to break down? I'm looking at a 1995 SAAB 900 SE Vert with this engine. It looks like a GM engine to me? Thanks!

[@joecutro7318]

PS-FrankenSaab and Topola were AMAZING. 👏

[@hurairakhan8162]

Hey so i am choosing between 2 cars. '03 9-3 Arc 5speed 100k miles which needs a new turbo and brakes (comes with them un-installed) or a '99 9-3 Turbo Hatch 5speed with 90k Miles which needs a new power steering pump, belt pulley and tires (nothing too major). Both are around the same price with little to no rust. Wanted some recommendation on what's the better decision for my first Saab car. Thanks

[@AutoAutopsy]

I personally prefer the NG 9-3’s and have much more experience with them. The turbos rarely fail on them - are you sure it needs a turbo? The NG will have some more modern tech but also is less “Saab.”

[@hurairakhan8162]

@@AutoAutopsy Will probably test drive both and see what I prefer. Some on the forums say the NG engines sludge which didn't really affect the OG. Previous owner is stating that the turbo is blown but starts up, other thing which is a bit of a concern is it was parked for 1.5 years, so fuel system might be dirty too.

[@scottyjoe22]

Those jets were Viggens :)

[@AutoAutopsy]

would be so cool if they were!

[@roastbeefy0weefy]

I like how your 9-3 is a dude. So was mine if I think about it. RIP

[@AutoAutopsy]

thanks!

[@DavidInglis-gf2iu]

If anyone would like to purchase SAAB cups (hand-made and, AS SEEN ON AUTO AUTOPSY), let me know. $30 each, set of 4 for 100.
