Also nice tailgate wing! I managed to get the last TunStyle Hirsch replica a few years back for my wagon. Really completes the look.

Kudos to you for sticking with the brand after that lemon!

Shit I should have just vinyl wrapped my roof black instead of repainting it.. looks great

My great grandfather’s name was Hyacinth. Used to be a popular old world name.

I really wish these came sans rear doors / seats and just had a longer bed. I’d be all over it.

Ya know, that never clicked until just now. Thanks for that. Watched “On Her Majesty's Secret Service” for the first time recently.. never realized how many references were pulled from that movie alone.

Really depends how much you’re already into it, and whether you enjoy the driving experience. Personally, I think you get a whole lot of car for not a whole lot of money with a SAAB, but then again I do as much work as I can myself on it. They’re light on their feet and are more fun to drive than any more “modern” car IMO but that’s just me.

*edit to answer your question, I learned just about every repair I’ve ever done on YouTube and in the forums. Struts aren’t bad if you have the right tools; a set of quality spring compressors will make the job a breeze. Soak all bolts the night before with PB blast.

Love mine, have one in Aero trim. Did you add the Turbo-X rear valance / exhaust?

I vote Quake II super shotgun followed by the Halo CE shotgun.

Love the 9k! I have the same rims on my SPG. I washed two of my SAABs today.. Within 2 hours, already covered in pollen. Oh the joys of black cars in spring time.

Nice!

Bone Thugs, rattling every piece of trim from the two Rockford Fosgates in the trunk.

Looks great. No NERF Needler? (That Neca one is dope!)

On my 2nd play through now (years later) and noticed to myself.. “ah, the fog must be rolling in” as everything started to go grey in the marsh region. Add that to the list of things that impress me in this game.

The ‘05 Aero wagon is dope, I had one and miss it from time to time. Best seats in the business. Looks great with a spoiler on the tailgate. I think you can still get them on eSaab.

If they add a SAAB 900 SPG I’ll go out and buy a VR headset and rig tomorrow.

Used to work at ‘Tri-City Dodge’ back in hs detailing cars. I was very perplexed (and disappointed) when I found out that the Viper and the Caravan had the same exact radio. Same air vents too I think.

BoTW had just come out around the time when I had adopted two cat brothers. One of the two I named Link.

Worked at a Pac Sun for a bit after highschool. First time I heard Aesop Rock was in that store. None Shall Pass just came out.
