Well, there's one social media strategist that won't be working for Saab. Thank goodness.
Hmm, I'm no hypermiler but I routinely get 20-22 MPG city and 26-28 MPG highway in my 1991 240 wagon, not the 18/23 of the EPA.
Well Matt, if you're feeling used perhaps we should get you your own EPA sticker. What's your fuel mileage?
@Jeb_Hoge: Blue, my favorite color. Blue makes everything better.
@Haywood Jablomey: Looks like somebody's chewing gum got stuck on the side skirt.
More encouraging news from Saab. Victor Muller and Jon-Ake Jonsson are proving yet again that they have their finger on the pulse of what it's going to take for them to thrive as a niche automaker. Hiring Swade (as he's known over at SU), the man who rallied the Saabisti to help prevent Saab from going under, is an incredibly smart move.
@Jeb_Hoge: All black everything?
This place never ceases to amaze me.

Somebody forgot to add the #duh tag.
@SagarikaLumos: I agree. A couple of years ago I thought about trying to find a wrecked X5 with the V8 option that I could turn into an X5-amino. Sanity and lack of funding prevailed.
@TrampaOnline: Well, I see you managed to find Dr. Turnincoff.

@Spiegel -- Nobody sees the name: And the cat is dressed up as...? A giraffe, maybe? Or, as my daughter used to call them when she was learning to talk, a gibarf.

@CraigSu: And now for the extended cab version from 2003.
@thetooth: Apparently the X5 Pickup was considered shortly after the X5 went into production. Sources say this is from a 2000 issue of Motor Trend.
@SLRSpeedshop: And Project Car Hell, let's not forget that either!
@racin_g73: Wow! I remember that from back in 2000. Here's the write-up that goes with the pic:
"This picture is real - not doctored in anyway - and was taken last week in Waldorf by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went and bought a camera to take pictures.
The car is still running as can be witnessed by the exhaust. A woman is either asleep or otherwise out in the front seat passenger side. The guy driving it was over jogging up and down on Rt. 925 in the background. The witnesses said their physical state was OTHER than normal and the police just shook their heads in amazement. The driver finally came back after the police were there and was getting down at the back to cut the twine around the load. They told him to get back until it was taken off. The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they had the customer sign a waiver! Both back tires are trashed. The back shocks were driven up through the floorboard. In the back seat were 10 bags, 80 lbs. each of concrete. On the roof are many 2X4s, 4X4s and sheets of OSB. They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. The car is a VW Jetta with FL plates and the guy said he was headed for Annapolis."
Given the reference to Waldorf and Rt. 925 this photo was taken in Maryland. Waldorf is over 40 miles from Annapolis.

@IN THE FACE!: The steering wheel is interesting. I wonder if the 2x4 canopy "strut" and the (shower rod?) engine "strut" are included.
