1992 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible

This classic Saab 900 visited my house when I was in the sad process of selling my 240, something you can read about soon. Anyways, this 900 convertible was originally spotted around a year ago, however the photo captured was pretty poor and was obscured by a Mazda minivan parked behind it. You can view the original entry, but it's not my best work, and I even acknowledge that in the entry itself. 

Funnily enough, before the launch of my car blogs, I had previously visited the owner of this 900's house, as I was interested in buying a Saab 9-5 wagon he was selling. This was back in December of 2020, so three years later, we didn't recognize each other when he came to check out my 240. I recognized this Saab as potentially being the car I photographed last summer, and when he told me he lived in the neighborhood I visited the 9-5 in, I knew it was the same guy and the same car. The Rhode Island Swedish car community is pretty small, but tightly knit!

This 900 is in very good shape, is mostly stock, but with the addition of Saab "Aero" rims and some rad yellow-tinted fog lights. The rims may be stock, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were swapped over from a Saab 9000 Aero, in which those rims were stock. It has some chips and dings in the paint, and interior shows use of 154,000 miles of love and care. This is no show car, but it's a great 20 footer. One aspect of a Saab back in the 1980s was to be driven and maintained well, and the car would give back to you miles of driving and fun. This Saab doesn't need to be perfect, because if it was, its owner probably wouldn't drive it as much, and what fun is a car that you can't drive?
