My parents drive a lot, so they have always liked saabs because of the 
safety issue. I have been in car crash three times in my life and always 
inside of saab (still alive and kicking). Couple of those crashes has been 
minor, but first one would have been lethal without saab 900. It happened 
early 80's, so I was about five years old then. It was early morning and my 
mother was driving. I was playing in the front seat. We live in Finland and 
it was fall, so road was full of black ice. We where driving about 100 km/h 
up the small hill and as soon as we get on the top of it, my mother hit the 
brakes. There where police van in the middle of the road without any warning 
lights on, they were setting up a speed trap and I bet they were a little 
surprised when we hit them. Police car flew far away to the forest and our 
saab was total mess, but nobody get hurt. My mother told that I was just 
smiling when I got inside of a tow truck and watched our saab coming behind 
us.

Ps. Court said that the police men were guilty for dangering traffic and got 
tickets, but most important thing was that everybody stayed alive and 
perhaps learned something.

I have myself had a driver license now about a year and a half and I am 
driving Saab 900 2.0 turbo '95 knowing that it's must be the safest car in 
the world.
