there's nothing like seeing a sauna in a SAAB. except maybe one that you can actually drive.

those old saab cars were definitely quite odd. my dad had a late 1970s model one for about a summer around 1993. the ignition was between the seats and the gear shift was almost like a rally car. lorne, as i called him, was a groovy automobile, but he had a fatal flaw: his engine kept revving to the point that you were fighting the brakes and in neutral, it would keep whinging away. eventually, my dad sold it for parts, but i liked driving that car. if i lived in a place with horrible transit, i would get a saab if i could afford it.

then i'd put in my own groovy wood interior.
