I wonder if Kim Jong Ill ever had a SAAB...?

I know we all '¨ä¨ä¨ä¨ä¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨äääääääääääääääääääääääääääääääääääääääääääää (<- sorry, that was a message from one of the cats walking across my keyboard) are mourning the loss of The Great Leader Kim Jong-Ill. And why shouldn't we. I mean, who else did five hole-in-one on his first ever round of golf? Who else had a new star lit in the sky when he was born? Who else could adjust the climate by mind control? Who else was a fighterjet pilot AND conducted operas? Of course we all are deeply heartbroken, but with all respect why not also give a minute for SAAB?

I know this is so trivial in comparison but the Swedish car manufacturer SAAB filed for bankruptcy yesterday. The actual car production actually ended months ago when the suppliers didn't get paid and stopped deliver the pre-made car parts such as seats, electronics and so on. Since then there has been several attempts to sort out the economics, arrange new ownership, anything. Until yesterday. Of course, most people had foreseen this bankruptcy and realized it was just a matter of time. Unfortunately this is a massive blow for the city of Trollhättan, the home of SAAB. Thousands will now go unemployed because of this.

Did you know SAAB originally was a manufacturer of airplanes and after WW2 twenty airplane designers developed a car which back then was seen as extremely streamline and futuristic?

So bye bye SAAB. Nice to have known you.

Much Love
Daniel
