A gearhead college friend started a car repair business in the D.C. area (not Saab-specific) and is now doing quite well financially as a business owner, after some years developing a reputation for quality at a reasonable cost. Customers rave.
There's no shame in being a mechanic, just a general acceptance of a poor level of remuneration for the highly technical work they do. I enjoyed my few years as a VW mechanic working my way through college. It can be satisfying if you can actually talk with the customers (lots of places put bow-tied smilers up front and keep the mechanics hidden away, a big mistake in my view).
Owning a biz would be better, and wouldn't wear out your back. Or maybe work on a design team for high-performance cars. That would be a blast.
