The Doctor is In!

Well, I guess I may as well introduce myself, state my intentions with this blog, and go from there...

I'm Joe Reichard, a gear head and Saab owner in WI. I've been a gear head all my life, and a Saab owner for 8 years. Prior to that I owned a bunch of different cars, however I've never enjoyed working on any of them as much as our Saabs. My wife, Kristie, and I have owned 8 Saabs. Prior to that I had owned 27 other vehicles, mainly Fords (and a bunch of Mustangs).

Why Saabs?
Well, I like qwerky things. Things that other people don't have, or understand. Saabs fit that build. I also like figuring things out, which I've done a good job with.

How did you become the doctor??
Ok, well that's a name that I received after rebuilding a Saab engine (with the help of a good friend of mine, the Turtle), and through many other various Saab repairs... And just knowing what's going on with a lot of cars and being able to help folks. Cool fact, I also have the license plate. :)

So, Joe now we know all about you... What are you doing here??
Well, I've made this blog for a few different things... First off to chronicle my builds, rebuilds, restorations, etc... This way I can have everything in one spot, that makes it easier to find, and easier for me to remember and people to read. Currently I'm doing a restoration on a 1984 Saab 900 Turbo Coupe (manual trans), and bringing a 1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen Coupe back to life. -- Ok, it wasn't ever dead, but bringing it back to... as much glory as possible, as well as prepping it for SCCA AutoCross and some track time. Second hopefully I can put up some tutorials on how to repair certain things on these cars to help newbies learn, and help keep as many on the roads as possible.

Frequency? Are you going to post all of the time?
Well, I'm really not sure how often I'll be posting. Hopefully every week or two. The thing to remember is that I haven't really blogged since MySpace was a thing. I had a blog on there -- realistically it sucked. It was about love, life, school, work... You know, all that boring stuff that no one really wants to read about anyways, and the people that were reading it were the ones that knew about it anyways. So, hopefully this can be more entertaining, fun, and useful!

Well, I'm jumping head first back into blogging, here goes nothing!

Saab On!
