Random large nut on ground after reassembling suspension is not reassuring.

There’s an anxiety linked to reassembling suspension systems post-rebushing that I haven’t fully managed.

Hey @midnightdorifto.bsky.social , this mad creation on FB Marketplace may be just up your alley. www.facebook.com/marketplace/... #weirdcarBS

Every so often, a devil on my shoulder whispers that I should get hold of a Maserati Biturbo Spyder. And then I remember I have a Saab 900 Turbo convertible that does everything better apart from causing financial ruin. #weirdcarbs

Tapering springs and two-piece spring compressors do not play well together. No catastrophe, but just enough slippage for me to not want to tighten any further.

I wonder how many S-Types were actually sold because of this commercial. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqIt...

Who needs a gym when you can spend an entire day wrestling control arm bolts off a car?

It is shocking how pre-GM Saab and pre-Ford Jaguar designs are so much more user-serviceable than the ones that were engineered post-merger.

Hmmm. 900 may be off the road for a bit while I figure out what seems to be a failed distributor. I have half a mind to complain to the manufacturer and…wait.

How many carmakers have introduced a twin-turbo car before a single-turbo car? Maserati (the Biturbo) and Jaguar (the XJ220) are the first ones that come to mind. #weirdcarBS

Bowing to public pressure, I brought the 900 to Lime Rock on Sunday. Here it is as the lone Saab keeping its distance from a sea of Volvos. Later, a 9000 joined it, but it was a sad showing for Saabs this year. A CE hatchback placed 2nd in concours (behind a Jag 420), so that was nice. #weirdcarBS

Post a meme made by you

The polling is close on Instagram. What does #weirdcarBS think?

Hey #weirdcarBS is there any good book out there about the history of the Maserati Biturbo? That line of cars still confuses me, and I want to learn more from a trustworthy source.

There’s something both oddly modern and archaic about the Saab 900. #weirdcarbs

At least this time I had mud flaps on the front. They sorta did their job.

The newest variation on ragequit is ragereassembly, when a car repair turns out to be so impossible for an amateur without a lift that you just retighten everything and wait to get an appointment with a specialist.

Unexpected find from 80s themed car show: someone left me a period-correct Polaroid of the 900 #weirdcarBS

I really like the little ones. Jackson Hole and Long Beach come to mind.

Apparently this car is appealing enough to get positive attention on the freeway. #weirdcarbs
