My Saab insecurities were unfounded

I was just reading the latest "nines" edition, and it made me realize that I am finally secure in my Saab obsession.
Having driven Saabs continuosly since 1987, and collecting classic 900's since 1996, I have been the butt of many-a-comment (not always positive) at general car shows and when chatting with other "car guy/gals". I recall the mid 1990's when finding another C900 enthusiest seemed tough. If it was out there, I had not even heard of the SOC yet.
Now I feel vindicated. Carlisle was the start, later SOC. There I would meet people who made my obsession seem pale in comparison. My wife still talks excitedly about Jon's white C900 he built from scratch, and Mike's 1984 SPG prototype we saw at the '08 SOC. The icing on the cake was the Saab support we all displayed that helped with the sale to Spyker.
The next time a GM guy/gal gives me grief, I am going to remind them that Olds, Pontiac and Saturn when down without a fight. I don't recall seeing a save Hummer site, or a line of Hummers parading around to save them. But Saab is alive because (in part) of the many-many obsessed Saabnuts like myself out there dedicated to a unique brand unlike any other.
Now I am on my way to look at my 4th C900!
Thanks for the therapy.
