Just writing to introduce myself to these boards - you may have seen me around in such forums as NASIOC, MySubie, NESR, and many others.

I had owned a 2002 Subaru Outback Sport for many years and recently bought a Saab 92x earlier this year (May). Known as the "Saabaru", the 92x was GM's rebadging experiment with Subaru. They took an Impreza wagon, slapped some Saab badges on it, threw in leather seating and other options and called it a day. Wiki actually has a decent article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saabaru

Anyway... onward to what you really want, more about me! (Oh what? You wanted to know about car?...) I work FT at a non-profit human services agency in Central MA, I go to graduate school PT at Assumption College, I teach music lessons and play gigs on the weekends (www.hung-pham.com)... and whatever free time I have is dedicated to motorcycles and cars.

Here's my car, a 2005 Saab 92x.
