Saab automobiles

Just got an 83 Turbo that in all ways is in wonderful shape except for one:
 Massively leaky sunroof!  The former owner garage kept it nearly all the
time so fixing it was never much of a priority,  but now that I have it,
it’s gotta be fixed.

Symptoms:  From the front of the car looking back,  the sunroof has the
appearance of sagging on the passenger side rear corner.  The thing that I
thought was interesting is that from the inside,  the part that forms the
interior surface of the sunroof is not sagging or in any other way
effected.  It operates smoothly and securely,  but DEFINITELY leaks and
looks a little shoddy from the outside on such a handsome car.

I must say,  the Turbo sure is fun.  I have also an eight valve 900 that
needed a new tranny which is the only reason I was even looking for used
SAABs,  but now the Turbo is my driver!  Man,  you should see this thing!
Downright virginal!

I’d appreciate any advice on the sunroof problem or Turbos in general!

Thanks!

My brother has been telling me about how great the oil additive PROLONG is
and how much better his car runs but I am not too sure.

I’ve got an 85 SAAB with 165k miles on it so I wouldn’t mind a little
better performance.

Anyone use this stuff? How did it work?

Thanks,

I LOVE America Online — and I’m a MASTER at the game…
so much so, that I figured the TENS of THOUSANDS of new
members joining the Online Swamp could benefit from my SECRET AOL.

America Online is a brilliantly easy and intuitive piece
of software, and it’s a no-brainer for most people to
get online and start swimming around.

BUT… PHENOMONAL SECRETS lurk beneath the surface of
the software, and only months and months — if not years
and years – of experience are needed to stumble upon
the really really cool and deviously fun capabilities
of AOL.

That’s why I’ve put together my AOL SECRETS booklet<<

It’s packed with everything I know from four years
of daily online fun… and mischief! More than just
how-to tricks, it’s the inside dirt, secret keywords,
the hidden areas and places to watch things go on
which MEMBERS are NOT supposed to witness!

It’s incredible what I’ve learned in four years —
and so complex in its nature that I’ve had difficulty
categorizing the chapters. So here’s what I’ve done:

SPY STUFF – Chapter One

 * Quietly saunter into a GUIDE LOUNGE!
 * Find *secret* and private chat rooms
 * The 55 dirty words that will get you knocked offline
   Internal instructions Guides use to keep you
   under control!
 * AOL’s secret invention – "AOL Phone"! The latest scoop.
 * Avoid falling prey to the WAREZ "bomb room"
 * EXTRA AOL software to make chatting even more fun
 * Acquire the powerful tools AOL Guides use
 * Get room-busting software tools — if legal in your state.
 * Find the secret and evil terms of service (TOS) bulletins
    and stay aware of the latest hacking and scam techniques
 * Internet sites that disclose SECRET AOL internal documents
 * "Hidden" rooms for AOL Beta testers and invited guests!
 * A site that demystifys computer jargon and confusing
    AOL terminology
 * Avoid AOL busy signals with TCP connection software — get
   online even though your local numbers are full.

STAYING ALIVE AND PROSPERING IN AOL CHAT – Chapter Two

Meet people on-line
 * How to enter a room secretly without being spotted.
 * That YOU choose who to meet, and who to avoid
 * How to quickly meet people with similar interests
 * Get info on chat room visitors (without talking to them)
 * How to spot on-line "phoneys"
 * Create a completely bogus "fantasy" personality
    for yourself.

EVIL AND TWISTED HACKERS – Chapter Three

 * How to spot hackers, and how to retaliate!
 * Avoid being HACKED entirely
 * How to keep your password and credit card information
    secret from AOL hackers. They are everywhere, and I mean
    everywhere.
 * How to hide your identity and become a completely different
    person!
 * Examples of fraud-intensive hacking attempts of Password
    thieves

FOR ADULTS ONLY – Chapter Four

Sexually-oriented rooms
 * AOL automatically BLOCKS the Adult items from you.
    You have to deliberately turn on Adult access for yourself.
    I show you how.
 * Exactly where Sex Rooms/Images/Discussions are hidden
    from sight.
 * How to protect your children from sexual rooms and
    predators
 * The saying goes: "You’re not a real man until you can find the
    dirty pictures by yourself."  Well, porno is available thru
    AOL/internet in incredible abundance. If this is what you
    want, I’ll show you how to select images, extract the
    binaries, and view them in slide show format for hours
    and hours. All automated and all thru point and click.
    And all free.

DANGERS OF EMAIL – Chapter Five

 * E-mail and Instant Messages, different tools with
    different rules.
 * When to e-mail and when to IM
 * Make your messages come alive with color and sounds!
 * E-mail *power tips*
 * Did you know AOL BLOCKS over 150 domains from
   sending mail?
   Do you have friends/family using these domains?
   I’ll tell you all about junk email, how it’s done, how to avoid
    it, and how to get more of it if you want it!
 * How do they get your screen name, anyway? I’ll show you.
    You won’t believe how easy it is.

AOL/INTERNET TIPS AND TRICKS – Chapter Six

 *"IRC" – Internet chat rooms, how to find them, how to use
     them IRC chat rooms are vicious, slutty and sometimes
     deadly…
 * Free long-distance phone calls using the Internet
    If you and your friend both have AOL or an ISP, you can speak
    long distance for hours at no cost whatsoever. It’s so easy.
 * And the nastiest adult jungles you’ve ever dreamed of…

      **  "CLONING" MOVIE MAY PROVOKE THEATER RIOTS!  **

      Anticipation is so high for the new sci-fi action movie AGENT ACTION!
  that international theater owners are worried.   Some feel their venues may be the
  magnet for riots.   One of the movies main themes is human cloning.  With cloning
  as a red-hot topic and the movies anticipated big budget look with gorgeous nude
  US playmates, the number of moviegoers is predicted to be record breaking!  

      AGENT ACTION! is reported to be a sci-fi flick in the secret agent                
  "Bond" Style.  It sports exotic locations, impressive cinematography, and the
   aforementioned naked, big-breasted actresses.  (Including Erika Olsen / Playboy
   Mar 97)  The movie stars and is directed by charismatic and multi talented new
   leading man William Blair.   It features celebrity guest villains and co-stars the
   talented Jerry Lee Kmiec.

       AGENT ACTION! is currently in the middle of a heated bidding war by international
   distributors.  The winner may have more than just an ordinary hit on its hands.  
   It may have the milestone catalyst of an international event.

***************************************************************************************************

                      OSCAR PICK FAVE FOR 97 ?   AGENT ACTION!

    Talk for the next Oscars has already started.  And the news is overwhelming for
 one film:  AGENT ACTION!

    What "ACTION" seems to have is what the current Oscar picks lacked:  both
great directing, great acting, and great writing all in one.    And the lions credit is
aimed at one man; multi -talented star and director William Blair.l

      Insiders are predicting Blair may receive the most multiple Oscar wins ever:
As best actor, best director, and best writer.   What’s more: as producer and special
effects director of photography consultant: he might also nab the best picture Oscar
and cinematography Oscars, too!   Can Blair and AGENT ACTION! pull off this
 unprecedented feat?

       It would certainly be a day for the all time record books.   Of course this is
 just speculation at this point.  One thing is certain, though, 1997 is the year for
moviegoers to enjoy AGENT ACTION!

————————————————————————————————————————————
3

                     CAN AGENT ACTION! CRUSH SCHWARZENEGGER?

       One fact seems clear:  William Blair is the world’s hot new action star!
Not only that, he appears to be a World-Class director as well.  It is this multi-talent
capability- and freshness- that has Schwarzeneger and Stallone scared – yes, the
world seems to be saying, replace these old fogies with new talent!

        William Blair, and AGENT ACTION!  seem to be the cure for the movie goers
case of tired old action star Blues!    Arnold / Sly – next stop is the old folks rest home
 for you!

       We’re William Blair fans now!  Long live # 1 action star William Blair! – AGENT
ACTION!

                             SEX, NUDITY, AND AGENT ACTION!

      For the many curious to see big breasted naked actresses in AGENT ACTION!,-
there is good news.   A preview/trailer is now reportedly in the cutting stages.
 This minute and a half of selected scenes should wet the palate of the curious.

       AGENT ACTION!, a "Bond" type thriller set in the near future, is highly anticipated.
It reportedly features the aforementioned Big breasted actresses ( including Erika
Olsen/ Playboy Mar 97 ) among several other ravishing beauties.

        The movie is said to star and be directed by multi talented new leading man
William Blair.   Celebrity guest villains round out the colorful cast.

          The movie apparently also features lush exotic locations from around the world.
Excellent cinematography and a tight nit thriller story round out this highly anticipated
production.

         This is probably the most anticipated movie on the planet today.   And the
thought of a trailer – possibly soon downloadable on the net – is fantastic.   But hurry
please!  The wait is almost more than curious movie buffs can bear!

                            JAPANESE "ABREAST" OF AGENT ACTION!

       Tokyo.   If there’s one group of moviegoers clamoring to see AGENT ACTION! –
It’s the Japanese.   They certainly have a yen for big breasted naked blondes – and
AGENT ACTION! will supply that – and more!  

        Nippon theater owners apparently are in a rare fight to obtain the first prints of
 AGENT ACTION!   It is said to be the most anticipated movie in the Orient.

————————————————————————————————————————————

                     WHY DOES AGENT ACTION FEATURE NUDE BREASTS?

    ‘Cause Secret Agents love them!   How could Sean Connery, Roger Moore, or
Pierce Brosnan battle villains without a little jiggle?   And the same goes for new Agent
extraordinaire William Blair – AGENT ACTION!

                                RUSH – FOR WORLD WIDE RELEASE

             IS AGENT ACTION! THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE?

     Film fans, critics, and cinephiles the world over are engaged in a heated debate.
 Is the new Sci-fi action film AGENT ACTION! the greatest movie ever made?

     Opposition is fierce.   Names such as Welles, Kubrick, Scorsese, Spielberg, and
Oliver Stone are of course getting huge support.

     Movies such as Citizen Kane, 2001, Goodfellas, ET, and Platoon are being
heralded as the all time champs.

     And yet, the new found furor won’t subside.  AGENT ACTION! now has its own
 legions of rising vocal fans.   And its star/ director William Blair is receiving the lion’s
 share of the credit.

        Can this new group of fans, of a movie not yet even released be right?  Can
the few purportedly bootlegged copies of an advance rough cut be enough proof?
Is AGENT ACTION! such a highly commendable piece of celluloid?  

       History be damned these new fans seem to be saying.   Forget the work of the
 "old fogies", William Blair Is the brilliant purveyor of cinema’s future!

        And AGENT ACTION! is proof – at 24 frames per living color second!

                SEX,  ROMANCE,   AND AGENT ACTION – WILLIAM BLAIR!

Check him out in AGENT ACTION!  Then in his exciting new upcoming feature

                            WAR!  - BIDDING BATTLE BREWING

   Major movie distributors are sharpening their pens.  Agents and Lawyers are taking
sides.  Telephone faxes are arming for duty.

    Why?  For the bloody battle over the international distribution rights to AGENT
ACTION!

    The movie world landscape is now upside down.  How?  Witness ancient releases
like Star Wars now doing first run BlockBuster business.  Plus expensive new releases
are bombing.  With this confusion its a new war out there.  And formerly defended
movie turf is up for grabs!

   Which studio army can capture the anticipated blockbuster AGENT ACTION!?

   Will it be a major battaliion force like UNIVERSAL?  Of can a rising guierrila army
like Miramax or Gramercy capture the goods?

   No one can predict the battle’s outcome yet.  But one victor is certain: the
Audience.   The World Audience – millions of popcorn and action loving troops who
will be the happy victors as they embrace viewing AGENT ACTION!

         WILLIAM BLAIR – TRUE INDEPENDENT – NOT SUNDANCE  ASS- KISSER

     While most Independent filmmakers nowadays are just shameless ass kissers – of
Sundance "god" Robert Redford, William Blair stands alone.

         The so called Independent movie movement is sickening.   Independent –
Independent of what?

        Most of these films are undisguised "auditions" for studio jobs.  And the cast
lists of these movies  look exactly like their Studio cousins:   Tori Spelling for godsakes!

         And most of these butt-kiss directors need to start living a life – rather than
patterning these grotesque homages to angst populated by the ever tiring Steve
Buscemi ( Whoever said this guy could act? )

          The real barfola however, is how the "intelligensia" and "psuedo hip" are
pronouncing Oscar kudos on these lightweight nothing movies.

         Lets face if folks:  Ransom was a much better film than Fargo.  Wake up you
morons.   Can anyone even sit through Fargo twice without falling into a deep coma.

     And last years Spitfire Grill – what a joke that was!    It had all the thrills and
technique of a bad TV movie of the week!

     Is there hope?  Damn tootin!

      And my vote for movie of the year is AGENT ACTION!   It cuts the sprocket holes
off those "independent" lemming-ized ass-kisser  movies .

I have a 1989 900 convertible (turbo) and there is a problem that arises
every now and then.

When the problem occurs, the following things happen:

(1)  the check engine light stays lit and the shift-up light flashes on and
off constantly (even when the car is in neutral);

(2)  the car stalls out whenever I accelerate quickly so I have to avoid
punching the gas because if I do I’m liable to suffer whiplash when the
engine starts sputtering;

(3)  the idle becomes unsteady in neutral;

(4)  occasionally I smell a little gasoline in the garage where the car is
parked.

This condition comes and goes, with no rhyme or reason as to when it comes
or how long it lasts.  It has happened in winter and summer (I live in
Massachusetts), and it has lasted anywhere from a few minutes to a few
weeks.  Then it disappears as mysteriously as it came.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?  All fuel lines and seals have
been checked.  My mechanic is stumped too.

Thanks.

Hi

I am the proud new owner of a Saab 9000S 16V 2.0 Turbo.  I’ve had the
car for a month it’s a 95 model and drives better than any car I’ve
previously owned.  I get withdrawal symptoms when I’m away two long
from it.

I’ve had it checked over by the local Saab dealer and generally all is
good, a few minor repairs required but nothing major.  The car has
107000 miles on the clock and is a perfect example of how good Saabs
are.

Regards,
