Very Odd Looking Vehicular Object
I saw a familiar shape park up at the supermarket. Prosthetics beige and owned by a sweet elderly couple, like every 90. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought it new 30 years ago. A window sticker proudly proclaiming that Saabs come from Finland, and a 5 speed badge. The plate beginning with V means that it was registered new in this area, because that's how license plates worked back then. Many of these were sold to pensioners. Some are apparently still driving them to this day.
In the mid 80's, Saab combined the front half of a 99 with the rear half of a 900 saloon and called it the 90. I read somewhere that they just picked the tools that were the least worn and this is the combination they ended up with. You could choose color and if you wanted a fifth forward gear in the manual box, and nothing else. You got two doors, a carbed slant-four and some headlights and that was that.
