I haven't noticed any letters from 99 owners, so I thought I'd send one in, I've got a 1978 99 EMS hatchback, burgundy with a factory moon roof and those sweet looking soccer ball wheels, probably the finest looking Saab model ever made, the biggest mistake ever from Saab, was going from the beautiful short sculpted hood on the 99s to the boxy long hood on the 900s. Winding her out on a nice twisty back road makes for the finest driving experience you could ever imagine. This woman I know who had a 99 for a long time summed it up best when we were talking about driving one day: "There is no other car that sounds quite like a 99 and driving one is better than sex, once you get me in the drivers seat, you may never get me out, and if you could put a five speed in it, no one would ever catch me." Isn't it the truth.
