My BEST Saab crash story - kinda sad that there's enough of 'em to
start ranking from 'good' to 'bad'- had to be back around 1985. I was
driving my 1972 96 in the Catskills - Monticello, NY - late one night,
stopped at a red light at a fairly large intersection, about to turn
on to the main drag. One sorry old Subaru driven by a not-all-present
elderly man was driving towards the intersection from my right, and
started to make a left turn onto my road. Unfortunately, and
apparently unknown to the old fart, was the fact that a Gran Prix was
racing towards the intersection from the other direction, and the old
guy was cutting directly in front of him. Well the Subaru got smashed
in its right rear quarter, then like a billiard ball came spinning
across the intersection towards me. One moment I was witnessing an
accident, and a split-second later I was part of it! The Subaru
smashed the front of my 96 hard enough to displace the engine back a
few inches, and needless to say, it never ran again. I still have
parts of it - some has been incorporated into my present 96. But like
so many other selfless Saabs, it sacrificed itself to protect me.
Let's return the favor and try to keep as many of them alive as
possible.
