So my '00 Aero had a flat the other day, and pulled into a gas station.
Determined the tire was too far gone to refill, so reached for my trusty POS doughnut spare.
Filled it to the recommended PSI, and just as I removed the air chuck - the metal valve insert came flying out like a bullet, narrowly missing my eye!
YIKES!
So I'd recommend that you get your tire guy to put in a new valve stem if you've got a Saab of similar vintage with the original spare.
