Good job to whoever put the red circle around the offending car. I wouldn't have noticed it if they hadn't.

Either a good and weird choice
A SAAB 9-3! That’s gold Jerry, gold!
A 2002 Saab 9-3 5 speed for $4990. A nice Euro/GM convertible for Chrysler LeBaron or Sebring money. It’s reliable. Maintenance is not terrible and the 2.0 T has a timing chain.
JDM, US legal, RHD, 5spd manual, awesome. 1986 Honda City Cabriolet. It was the last year of the 1st gen city. Not a Kei Car. 1.3L 4 cylinder (66hp/72lb-ft), weighs 800kgs/1764lbs. You can live out your 80s Japanese techno dreams. $6500
forgot the link:
1988 Saab 900 Turbo, with a manual, currently going for $6400. It is front wheel drive, but the engine is mounted longitudinally with the flywheel in the front, chain driving the transmission below the engine cause why the hell not. It is so weird and I want one.
300ZX convertible with manual box, 80k on the clock, a tad below 9 grand:
I wish my 2.3 could put that much power down. Still amazes people that the “grandpa car” can walk my buddie’s stock 03 wrx from 60-90.
My stage 1 tune puts me at around 235 hp/ 250+ tq. It’s fun! And a tiny bit of a handful flooring it out of a corner sometimes!
Why? Honestly if that’s all they did and they didn’t leave a mess in my car I wouldn’t care. Again, if you’re that sensitive you shouldn’t leave it at the dealership and you should probably have a dashcam to catch the real crap that people do like doing burnouts and donuts in customer’s cars. Plain and simple, I work…
This is ridiculous. I’m sorry, they drove 3.3 miles one way and lost their jobs over this. If your that sensitive with you car then either A) work on it yourself or B) take it to a real mechanic that you know and trust and not the dealership.
Nothing quite like the way the boost kicks in on a hot saab engine. I’m contemplating converting my stage 1 9-5 linear to an aero. Torque steer is my frienemy.
You forgot the most important thing:
I approve of everything stated in this article, but especially timing chains and gauges (check out how many the Gran Fury has below) as opposed to idiot lights. Don’t forget bench seats, a column-mounted gear selector, and an option for manual windows.
Saabs are a neglected group of cars, but those of us that are into them... Well, we like it that way. Most of us have more then one.
somehow i just like to think europeans aren’t as retardedly politically correct as us. mind you i dont think the flag should be flown over a government building, but we dont need to erase history (dukes of hazzard)
It was a Cadillac rear-load professional chassis, which were used as both ambulances and hearses, although techncially the one used for Ecto-1 was originally an ambulance.
Gaaah! That’s going to RUIN my watching this film. I’m going to be constantly looking out for it.
