I found my dad's 9-5 to be a tad ugly, but the 9-3 always tugged at my heart strings. I thought it was beautiful and honestly still looks great to this day. That was a beautiful car.

So true. The 93's interior was also far more beautiful than the 95 - just the perfect balance of modern and classic Saab design language. It was disheartening when GM started swapping in Chevy and Pontiac bits in the refresh though somewhere around 2005/2006.

I've owned a Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, Volvo and VW after that 93 and it was still by far my favorite car to ever own. But the 550i easily took that crown :-)

350, auto. I put a shift kit in it, manifold and carb set up. I loved that car.

My first car was my mom's Toyota Corolla. My first enthusiast car was an RSX S in Blaze Orange Metallic. First manual too.

I bet you did. I lost out on a 69 Firebird with a 396 4 spd. Beautiful body style and always sad I couldn't get it. I did snag a numbers matching 1980 Vette 4 spd now and loving that.

My friend Kevin Milroy had one of those. Great car.

An good old 1999-2002 Volvo S40 2.0T Grey i remember it was. Remember also the old lady who bought after me later on called me a couple of months later to tell me how glad she was to be driving around in such a clean and tidy car.

Always was a clean freak with my cars. Looked something like that although not this car. Wish i had my laptop from back then filled with so many pictures of cars from different car meets and races that were back then.

1990 Honda Civic Si, 5-speed manual, high revving 108hp Inline-4, amazing road feel because no power steering but didn't need it because only ~1,000 kg. Don't have a photo anymore but looks exactly like in this...

Awesome that we have another past Javelin owner in our ranks.

My second car was a '68 Javelin SST with a 290. I loved that car. One of the ones I should never have sold.
