-Boston, MA (actually Somerville, about 10 mins away from the actual Boston city line). Grew up a little further north in MA.

-Own two Saabs - '95 9000 and '01 9-3 convertible

-Single, age 25

-Fairly aesthetically conscious in terms of style, clothes, cars, etc. Love my cars to be tastefully pimped out (not riced out) - nice rims (OEM only), thumpin' sound systems, cool exhaust, etc.

-Parents bought me the 9000 in high school and it is still in beautiful shape inside, outside, and under the hood. The 9-3 was a spur of the moment purchase after my first year of full time work.

-Professional accountant with major firm - CPA track if I can find time to take more sections of the damn exam.

-Am of the demographic where I could pretty easily afford a much newer, Saab, Audi, MB, BMW, etc. but I love my old Saabs too much to separate from them.

-BA in Management and Accounting and MA in Accounting (my Gravatar tells where from)

-Politically left leaning (c'mon, I'm from MA!)

-Totally love doing work on my cars when I can find the time. These days most work is done by the dealer. Pretty bad when all of the service and parts guys know me by name.

I'm definitely seeing some trends here, and this is a good thread to keep following. The age differences are what is surprising to me - I know lots of young people drive Saabs, but the respondents to this post have been mostly older.
