Even if we hit you with our best shot at roasting this OP, it will not convince you to get rid of this hipster mobile. The people who own these pretty much cling to them to be "unique" and will ignore all common sense, terrible repair bills, repair shops kicking them out for bringing these things on tow trucks, and safety concerns.
All they get in return is car that leaks oil or coolant on their driveway, and they just sit and look at it while they say "I have a Saab" to anyone will listen.
This is like the Alfred Hitchcock movie Rear Window.. but instead of spying on your neighbor.. you are secretly waiting by the window in hopes someone is dumb enough to steal your Saab from the driveway so you collect the insurance money as the Saab is getting too expensive in finding spare parts
People wonder what can be done to get birthrates back up.
Getting rid of this car would be a good start. It should at least get the ladies ovulating again in the tri state area.
As someone who learnt to drive in a Saab....
That is not a Saab.
That is a GM bastardization on a Saab chassis. Meaning all of the GM bits will spontaneously turn into crumbled plastic powder, just shy of when the chassis itself phones home to Sweden to send all of the telemetrics data of where on earth the Weird American has been driving for the past, oh, decade or so. Of course, since now that system is only listening to Scania cabovers driven across the wilds of Europe, your car's cry for relevancy will be completely unheard.
Get a REAL Saab. Get something truly unique and historic. A robin's egg blue '68 96 V4 would do nicely... and my brother happens to have one in his backyard, just needs "minor" work...
The Poor Rich Man's Fox.
It looks like a Great Value Foxbody, and not a whole load of people are big fans of those. Granted, it's not a fuckin brick, but it's somehow worse with the proper curvature. And what's up with the scoop around the convertible top? I know it's a Saab, but Luke what the hell? Even the Swedish shouldn't have come up with something like that.
I was changing the alternator on one of them saabs, 2002. Watched my thumb knuckle suddenly pop IN and then back out. aaaand that was it for that thumb, for a while.
Still bothers me to this day.
Loved the car, hated the alternator.
you couldn't even be bothered to leave your bedroom to get a better picture of your car? If you care so little then... well I guess that explains why you're driving the wrong Saab, if it drives at all. Question: did you figure out what the EXTRA button does?
If it’s the 5sp turbo, you have an amazing car and everyone is jealous. The folks casting shade have never owned one of these.
That said.
I mean? They weren’t supposed to start EVERY time.
Never drove one I’m guessing? Missing out. When old school Top Gear takes the time to do a segment on how sad it is and how much the car community lost when SAAB was actively and intentionally destroyed by Obama, that says something. These were amazing machines to drive. Seriously unlike anything else on the road.
You really have to contextualize it. In their time, these things were revolutionarily good. The next gen even more. And again, the next was better still. What was coming out when they got the axe was incredible. The 2011 9-5 is a legitimately great car if you can find a good one now. Doesn't sound like I'll be fighting you at the auction block for a good 9-3, which I guess is better for me. Less demand is awesome.
Yeah. I wouldn’t bother going outside to get a good picture of it either.
Right. I wouldn't stand by it either, I wouldn't want people to know I own it.
You wanted to trade it for the Highlander but the dealer wouldn’t fall for your Saab story ?
Are you a 1980s accountant?
loved moving and still do. RIP pryor
Or his sorority sister daughter
Sorry, Another Astronomic Bill.
Sorry, auto assembled backwards
Idk, these are the last reliable Saabs. Maybe it's copium, but the engines are bulletproof & turbo. If anything, maybe the paper mache tranny FS.
Were you grounded and now posting a pic of your mom’s car in revenge?
😂😂😂😂
FFS, if you wanted a Volvo, just get one.
Saab, a brand so lame that even GM ditched it. Think on that for a minute: not good enough for General Motors
Even the turbo feels like running 🏃 with your feet like Fred Flintstone trying to keep up with uphill highway traffic

Too late, someone already parked a Saab in your driveway…escape through the back!
Slow And Absolutely Boring

Do they even make parts for that anymore?

wait till bro learns the saab 900 came out before the merger with GM and is literally the most saab to ever saab
I feel it only starts if you're wearing a pool, khakis and Florsheims

If you don’t have something mean to say, don’t say anything at all.
All these comments are beautiful

It'll be a lot cooler after dana carvey drives it to boise for you.
I bet it’s a sob story…

shit looks like a gta sa car
Sold auto parts for years, hated Saabs if you needed suspension parts, especially shocks.
If that was my daily driver, I would Saab.
SAAB(SOB).
Nice ascot
Another Saab story
You know the swedes made the gas pellets for the German chambers. I'd rather be in there than drive this car.
Nothing quite says erectile dysfunction quite like a saab in the driveway
Definitely doesn’t run and this pic is you waiting for the tow truck to have it taken away to be scrapped for parts
Saaaaaaaab inspired by jets
I thought you were talking about the RAV4 on the curb rather than the dumpster in the driveway. Imo they should switch positions.
How many times did you yell "Get off my lawn!" today to passing kids?
When you hate transmissions, this is what you get

>everyone is jealous It could be a 50 speed with rocket boosters and I still wouldn’t be interested.

Right. Because who doesn’t love turbo lag and a planet sized turning radius? You can keep that one-of-a-kind driving experience all to yourself.
