Hi all, first post after rejoining the forum after a four year hiatus, just got a 9-5 Aero wagon last week, purchased at a discount when my parents upgraded to a new Volvo XC60.
My most recent Saab moment involved snapping my 14y/o son & friend's heads back on the way to football practice tonight, using about 2/3 throttle. They didn't realize that the 'grandma wagon' could do that. I actually got a 'wow' out of his buddy. Reminded him my old Aero was quite a bit faster.
Other highlights:
-carrying I think 30 cases of beer in a 9000 for my wedding reception. Kind of fuzzy on details of that event...
-Both of my kids took their first car rides in Saabs.
-When I got my 9000 Aero in '03, I brought my (much smaller) son with me to do a fly and drive. We had a great trip, taking back roads for about 1/2 the trip from MA to OH, hitting multiple ice cream shops, playgrounds, scenic overlooks, etc.
-Showing up for trackdays in the Aero, pulling out infant seat/booster seat while ricer kids light me up with snide comments, then hearing 'wow is that thing fast' later in the day between sessions.
-The aforementioned son is currently mad that I didn't buy 'him' a C900 convertible on our local CL before someone else picked it up. (I'm also sad, BTW)
