An update for those still reading. ;)

I have received a few emails regarding my absence, thank you very much to everyone that emailed!

Recently I lost my job, and once again I have managed to break my AERO. :) I am actively seeking a new job in a better working environment. My break in blogging/ work/ automotive related events has been nice and given me a chance to relax. After blowing my last head gasket only a few weeks ago many other things have gone wrong. I blew up a heater core and replaced (I got covered in coolant when it blew while putting the full 500HP down to the ground... it is a really great story), and most recently I thought I had clutch failure but it was really my gearbox failing in a miserable way for such a nice gearbox to die. :( A small plastic $8.00 oiler inside the cover failed. When it fails 4th gear gets starved of oil. 4th gear has bearings on it that go on the main rod in the gearbox that has 1st and 2nd on it. The bearings failed and cut into the rod. All in all it was a good failure. After opening up the box we were pleased to see no wear on any normal parts inside the box. It has 30,000 miles on it now inside my car with me driving. :) I'm confident I could drive on it a little more aggressively now! The new parts will be here soon but it will take about three weeks to send them out for cryo treating and to be shot piened. Don't forget this was no ordinary gearbox!

Please keep checking back to my site and I promise very soon I will be actively posting Saab news and continuous updates on my Saab for you to read!

I bet you weren't even drinking on the job. Because it would have been a much better story if you had been.
