I bought a new old car a while ago: a Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget 99. Saab’s have a weird uniqueness to them which makes you feel like you’re in a plane; which is no surprise considering they make planes [hence the ‘aeroplan’ bit]. In fact, my car is about as heavy as a plane, which would account for its thirst for fuel. Here’s some Saab history; my favourite is the Saab 92001, the prototype for their first production model.
