This is either awesome or horrible. I don’t know about your experience but the shittiest, most reckless drivers I’ve seen are in mid size Nissan sedans. This will either force more restraint or somehow create more chaos.

Be that as it may, it wasn’t a real Saab. I knew someone in high school whose parents had one. It didn’t seem like a bad car and maybe it was good for what it was, it wasn’t a Saab.

I always had a soft spot for Saabs, especially 9000s. My mom leased two in a row, one was a gray (maybe tan?) CS and the other was a white CSE. I remember the unusual seats and shifter and the distinct smell of rotten eggs 75% of the time when we would shut off the car – Pray Automotive in Greenwich, where we leased…

“You looked suspicious.”

Anyone who believed that ride sharing is actually ride sharing and that it would solve the issues it claimed to be trying to solve is an idiot. They are taxi services with the pretense of “something different”.

No question, just a comment.

Eh, his commute is 90% stop and go. If you can do that, kudos to you

I’m sure you guys know that there’s a non GTI version that lives in Manhattan

Oh sh*t I have another one!

Kind of relevant

God damn this is well written

Argh, that 9000 CSE is hard to see. My mom leased that car’s twin back in the day and replaced it with another leased white one. I love Saabs, I wish I was in the market/had the know how to examine the cars to see if they’re worthy. There is a small chance I end up in Ann Arbor next year and if so, I WILL need a…

Believe it or not, she did. She thought the guy was sweet and was happy that he enjoyed the conversation so much

I dug through the bowels of my email to find the ridiculous alphanumeric passkey Jalopnik provided me when they redesigned their login system just so I could sign in and recommend your post. This story is what the hobby is about and a virtually thing happened to me in October.

Might be writing this for myself as I seem to be perpetually in the grays...

I can picture exactly what you’re describing - a few years ago I used to take the LIRR from Penn Station to Long Island for work. During the fall and winter, I used to see a ton of cars just rotting away behind row-house garages. I remember one house had a Chrysler TC by Maserati and a RR Silver Cloud and his neighbor…

I too wonder what possess someone to just leave a car to rot away.

And when gas prices skyrocket again and Americans realize how much it will cost to run and fill up their Tahoes, F150s, and Explorers and then flock to fuel efficient imports, we’ll see an article that says “Why American car companies can’t compete.” It happened in the 70s, it happened a decade ago, and it will happen…

While that generation of the Chrysler minivan was never offered in the US with a stick, there was at least one in Westchester County in the early-mid 2000s. I saw it from time to time picking up kids at the high school. Naturally, it was on Diplomat plates. Some cool cars get into the country that way, I’ve seen a…
