"you don't need a Ferrari or McLaren to have fun." This is more fun. These types of videos are way cooler too. Thanks Jay and team.

[@supremefantastic]

Really respectful and interesting from you, Jay. As a swede, I'm happy that you honour an historic car from my country with this kind words and caring. You also have a giant knowledge that makes me impressed. Often I don't like american reviews (with music in background and people who don't know what they speak about) but you're interesting and serious. Respect from me to you, Jay.

hello ....i'm Pantelis from Greece...i'm 51 y.o and that video made me so emotional (especially my father he's 84 y.o and we saw this video together!!!!) cause he bouth this car in 1964 and i was born inside this car in 1969 ....it was a Saab 94 construction in 1964 the older model from this car in your videiowith fuel and oil at the same tank...it was semi automatic by puting 1st-2nd and 3rd gear without pressing the clutch all you needed to do that is pulling a small lever low on the steering axle next to and above the throttle..now the car is in the experienced hands of a fanatical collector of these cars..car's counter has reset 3 times. the engine was never converted and was spotless inside out and mechanically excellent for over 30 years. thank you for this video sir....Thank you so much for this emotional experience....* sorry for my English but i;m Greek)

Boy, this brings back memories. I took my driver's test in a '59 Saab 93 in 1963. The examiner was completely baffled by the rear-hinged doors and I had to explain about the free-wheeling so he wouldn't get freaked out going down hill. I grew up in Maine (still live there) and would purposely go out on a snowy day and pass people stuck trying to go uphill. It was a fun car to drive.

Finally an episode where it's just Jay talking about a cool old car. No guests. No gimmicks.

[@D3nZiG]

in sweden, that license plate GLF249 has now been recycled and passed down to a trailer, a -08 Thule D0750, owned by a contractor company located 30miles away from the very SAAB factory.

[@georgec2126]

Someone once asked Carlsson how he managed to beat so many more powerful cars in one of these. He replied: 'I just never took my foot off.' Marvellous.

[@tbilod]

I remember whenever a Saab 93 passed by our home.the two-stroke engines would cause the TV reception to scramble .

[@3wheelie]

As a Swede I got a big smile on My face right now. These cars are bullitproof and it’s really sad Saab went down.

[@fasteddie9970]

I enjoy most of the guests but it’s a treat to see Jay on his own, in his element.

[@williamcharnley4972]

I had a '62 93, in 1972, when I was 20. They had done away with the suicide doors, but everything else was the same. It came standard with the 4 spd on the column, which was a hoot to drive. The manual suggested when parking, while camping, find a suitable sized rock to put under a tire to keep the car from rolling away. The small door from the trunk folded down and the seats folded also to make a bed. As a 20 year old guy, this was a chick magnet car, girls loved riding in it. It smoked when you didn't get the mixture just right, it went like a tank through snow, etc. It got good gas mileage on long trips. I ended up hitting a Torino, parked in the middle of the street, and put a big U in the hood. It drove fine and I was able to sell it like that. I still miss that car!

[@John-pc3cx]

Jay captured the cleverness of Sabbs and his humorous take on who drove them was spot on. Plenty of Saab still on the road cause thoughtful people won’t let them die.

[@rbilzing]

I remember filling up my 1959 at the gas station and watching the looks on the faces of other patrons when I would pour 2 stroke oil into the gas tank and bounce the little beast up and down with my foot on the bumper for a minute. Ordinarily, I would mix it with some gas in a separate can I kept in the trunk, but sometimes you just love to do something to burn your existence into the minds in a small town. Keep doing what you do so well.

[@snmthecloser]

Somehow I am certain that Jay does his goofy foreign accents while giggling softly to himself when he is alone driving this car. Guaranteed.

[@donjohnson3701]

Jay’s passion for cars goes beyond the hardware and gets into the backstory. It is what makes these “garage” stories so interesting. The shutter for the radiator was neat.

[@noahman27]

We drove Saabs in our family from the early 60's thru 2007. Every type...except the Sonnet. And we got our neighbors to also drive them. We lived on Main St in our town. We always had so many SAABs in the driveway that people in town thought we were a SAAB garage and occasionally someone would knock on the front door needing service for their SAAB. The other night I had a dream - I had dropped off my 2018 SAAB 9-5 Wagon at the dealer for service and was asking my good friend if she could give me a ride to the dealer to pick up my car..It'll be ready tomorrow morning by 11:00am. What a great dream it was! I miss the SAAB family. And it really was a family. Very special.

[@gurkpojken]

Im from sweden and these bullets are superrare here too. Love them really.

[@swirl586]

Proud owner of a Saab 900 from 1995. Still kicking and getting close to 190,000 miles

[@matthewrobinson4323]

You brought back lots of memories of my '67 SAAB 96 two stroke. I got to know every cop in San Diego County on a first name basis due to the smoke. Once I was pulled over because the cop wanted to tell me about a new two stroke oil he'd found at Fedmart.

[@jdoesmath2065]

I rewatch this episode just to hear the "It's like a hive of bees coming at you" line. Makes me smile every time. Thanks Jay.
