SAAB: terminal stages.

I, for one, will be sad when SAAB goes away. BringATrailer posted this last night about the sad story of SAAB auctioning their entire museum away this week. This collection includes all of their prototypes, including the legendary Ur Saab.

What a sad way to end the company——that being said, i’m sure Saab fanatics are beside themselves with excitement at the chance to land one of these Gothenburg beauties into their garages.

When I was 16, i was obsessed with the Saab 900. I’ll never forget that.

Take a tour of the Mercedes-Benz Museum.

As expected, MB has constructed a damn cool museum to display alot of their motorsports and production car history. Here are some of the pics presented by the company to highlight their new museum. You can tour the museum virtually on their website as well. Easier than getting a flight out to Stuttgart!
