GLAM team coming second in class
One of the best bits of writing I’ve seen in a little while from TTAC covers the GLAM (Gay, Lesbian Auto Maniacs) team, who are competing in the Fireball rally in a Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible that they borrowed from SaabUSA.
The GLAM guys re actually coming second in the luxury class at this point. Unfortunately the Fireball website is such a shambles that I can’t tell you how long they’ve got to go, or even where they’re heading.
There’s a day-by-day (I’ll resist using Frank’s TTAC description) journal at Gaywheels for those who are interested.
Here’s the car:



Cool stuff, swade. I followed your link to the journals — there are some great track runs in the SAAB 9-3 Convertible at http://www.gaywheels.com/team_glam_day_four.htm

“Stickers!! Who told you that you could ugly the 9-3 with those STICKERS, eh?
No Saab for you!!”
[Team Glam exits stage right, dropping the keys as they leave in shame.]
It would have been a good idea for SAAB to somehow work a way to bring over a BioPower model and give them a map of waypoints to E85 stations. Then they could get double PR points…
