But things have come a long way since then. Today, we lower our cars by using shorter springs - not by putting giant lawnmowers in the trunk.

Ever drive a Viggen? I used to work for saab, they were wicked little 9-3's. I Loved the blue color. (Then, they made it a convertible, and a 5 door.. and ruined it)

I had a SAAB 900 Turbo which was one of the best performing and handling cars I ever owned. Unfortunately it was bought by GM and it will never retain its unique engineering and appeal to enthusiasts.

I sold mine with over 170,000 miles on it and ran as strong as the day I bought it! The only thing I ever had to do was change oil and tires. I always let the turbo cool down for at least 2 minutes.
