That's funny that you mention that. I am watching a re-run of the episode where
Kramer borrows Jerry's Saab to transport his blood supply, and the car
overheats and Kramer fills the radiator with blood! Not a recommended fluid,
I'm sure.

"life is a worderfull thing" or what ever that name was. I have actually
seen Saabs in MANY movies and series driven by the actors or just in the
traffic.

I remember there was actually a site for "Saabs in movies", right?

"As good as it gets"?

In "Heat" a blue classic 900 is shot to pieces by Robert de Niro, Val Kilmer
and Al Pacino when they ruin the streets of Los Angeles at the end of the
film

Hehehe.....
They may not be emergency vehicles but any cop knows that when they reply to an
emergency when a Saab is involved the chances of the person being alive and not
seriously hurt are _much_ better.

I got stopped for speeding once on a back road in the SPG. I told the officer
that my speedo was broken and he asked me to step out of the vehicle and tried
it out for himself and saw I was telling the truth. I joked with him the car
rides so good I just can't tell how fast I am going. He gave me a warning.
The same thing happens in the 9000 too, I look down and realize I'm going 80!

I can't believe those lights mounted on the front, and I don't know if it is the
way the photo was taken or the vehicle itself but; the front end looks so long.

Why Bob?
Would it bother you to walk into the bathroom and see me combing my hair,
putting on lipstick, or adjusting my nylons?
It might even put an end to urinals.

Funnily enough, I thought it was weird when I saw it, but yesterday I saw an
E class Mercedes converted in just the same way. I looked quite strange.

I'm pretty sure that Dr. Melfi on the Sopranos drives a 9-3.
Also there is a brief shot of a Classic 900 in Independence day (Just around
the time the Empire St. Bldg buys it).

Highlander the series had an episode where they blew up an early 80's 900 or
late 70s 99.

That's all I can think of right now.

A few weeks ago here in Sydney, SBS television screened a movied called...
Providance? Provance? Bugger! Can't quite remember the name of the movie,
but it was in Welsh (and the title means 'catastrophe' in Welsh, from
memory) where a silver classic 900 cabriolet is the feature vehicle for the
entire movie. Perhaps someone can remind me of the title - it was made in
the 90s.

And then there was "Hawks" made in the UK in 1989 where you have another 900
cabriolet going like hell through a quarry.

An old one, but still my favorite was in the Human League video for
"Don't you want me". It featured a 1981(82) 900 turbo with the first
generation louvered rims.

Jerry Seinfeld is obviously a fan of Saabs because his show frequently
has him driving around in a black 900 convertible.
