First Post!!

This is my first post, but I will be back dating posts to give the general timeline of this project.

Backdated posts will be written as if I'm looking back, but posts after this one will be me writing about what I'm DOING, not what I DID.

I bought Ulla, my 1986 Saab 900S in April 2008 for $500. I found an ad on Craigslist just minutes after it was posted, drove an hour up to look at it, talked the owner down from $800, got the title, and drove home at 11pm.

Aside from a 15-minute lesson in a dirt lot, this was the first time I had ever driven a manual transmission.

Since that night, I've learned a lot about Saab, the 900, eBay, and the mechanic down the road.

I couldn't be happier.
