So I put my ebrake on last night and left it. Went out this morning to leave and disengaged it, well it didn't disengage. The handle and stuff moves, but the brakes won't disengage, what do I do? This is my DD so I need it fixed before tomorrow.

Check the cable and spray so Pb blaster or a similar product on the cable and let it set. Also make sure something isn't holding the tensioner in place.
I doubt it, jack up the rear end, pull off one of the drums and see if all the springs inside are still good. I would do this after you check the tensioner.
Got it fixed. Looked inside where the cable runs from the handle outside the car and the cable was jammed between the wheel and the plate. My wheel was also pretty bent in several places so it couldn't spin. so I have no ebrake for right now. Will get pics tomorrow.
My GF hit a deer the other day and now her car is in the shop getting fixed. She needed a car to get to work while it is being fixed and the only car she could find was her grandfathers Saab. Nice car...
She forgot her cell at his house so she drives back, pulls in, and pulls the ebrake. Goes to leave, cant disengage it. Grandfather cant disengage it. Mom comes over, she cant disengage it.
Had to get it tow'd to the nearest Saab dealership (far away) for repairs, but they said its common for that year.
