It runs.

The sound of the V8 in muh Lexus

>saab

You my nigga

Wow, 9-3? What specs you got?

>Cruising at 65mph, engine RPM is just above idle

Is that a 900 or a 9000 ? i have a 900S, i fail to see how these can be shitboxes pretty nice imo

That is a dream considering my SAAB revs 3000 at 60 mph
It's a 9000, it's a nice car, have to restore it tho, got some rust, thanks for the kind words!

>Saab
>Everything
>Short shifting, night panel, ignition between seats, comfy seats, Saab aesthetic

>PT Cruiser
>tons of interior space
>versatile interior layout
>comfy
>green dash lights
>manual
>tarbo
>good handling
>so ugly nobody will steal it

I've used that shitty table for more impromptu campouts, tailgating parties, and shooting innawoods than I can remember.

You really outdid yourselves with that one, Honda!

glanza v?

>02 WRX Wagon
>Don't have to jack the car up to change the oil

I'm convinced the Subaru reliability meme isn't because they're actually reliable, but because even their "fun" cars are so easy to maintain. God help you if you need to do any serious engine work though.

9-3 2.0T manual from 2007

It’s a total fucking beater but I love dat turbo and it’s pretty zippy for a sedan.

My DD is a 9000 CSE and I feel you OP. I love the late night aesthetic

The ultra heavy, woman and softcunt proof clutch

Green lights at night is the ultimate car aesthetic

man if only panthers used LSes or even a ford variant they'd be the most american car ever made

>body on frame
>leaf springs
>four doors more whores
>four speed more speed

an LS1 would also add

>no replacement for displacement
>pushrods pushgods

Oh what is that magnificent bastard

>the way it hops over terrain like it weighs nothing
>the way I can fold the rear seats down and take a nap
>the way everybody asks me about my modded truck when I take the top off (it's stock)
Pic isn't mine, but mine is basically the same except rear tube bumper as well

Dribing a 2008 Fusion.

Its a heavy shitbox, but its fucking reliable, C O M F Y and has green lighting inside.

I loved the dash on my previous car (Suzuki Aerio)

It was like something out of an arcade racer from the 90s

Paddle shifters in a 1st gen Honda Fit Sport.
I have the convenience of an automatic for city driving but when I go skiing I can keep it in 2nd or above with proper throttle control. As well when I got stuck in some snow on an offramp, the drunken plow drivers dumped in a left turn lane. I was able to go from reverse to 2nd gear a few times and rock myself out.

It's a perfect shitbox

>LT1
Close enough?

1988 Dodge Daytona Pacifica with a shitty paintjob.

fpbp

As long as it's a pushgod engine all is fine.

>tfw pushrods pushgods
>no replacement for displacement
>four doors more whores
>four speed more speed
>auto-only
>body on frame
>leafspring suspension
>rear wheel drive

>He's never heard of the impala or caprice

manual turbo cruiser are the ultimate sleepers

That is such an aestethic car

Shes a beauty. Saving for a wallpaper

>>The way the dashboard lights up in a 90s mint green colour during night drives in my shitbox
Same i gotta get a good photo of my dash when i get it back together

the digital LED speedo, rpm and volts coolant is really cool

91-96 b-bodies never had an LS, only sbcs or lt1s.

Is that a Saab 900? Cuz I was thinking about buying one. IF it is a 900, how is it?

I want one of those so bad but even beat to shit ones are going for like 10 grand in my area and I'm poor

My buddy has one of those.it's less reliable than my jaguar was it my 32 year old rotary is.

>shitbox
>saab

pick one bro. I love Saabs

she's a buet

>It's less reliable than my jaguar was it my 32 year old rotary
what did he mean by that?

similar

literally can't think of a single thing I really appreciate on my car except its aesthetics

it's pretty shit in every other aspect

V6 last gen Firebird btw

It's a 9000, however, I really do think you should get the 900, towards the later years of the 900, the 9000 and the 900 were very similar mechanically. You will be amazed at the ride quality and the exact steering. Good luck bro, take good care of the car!

True, I'm planning restoring it to it's former glory this summer, already bought alot of the parts I need

That photo looks straight out of the 90s

My dad had a 95 Caprice and he put 2500$/year into it. Most of it was for repairs

They're actually fairly recent pictures taken with a disposable camera

makes for a really nice aesthetic™

I'm thinking about getting a newer Honda Fit EX. Do you like yours? How good of a daily driver is it?

agreed, but how do you get the noise so low? i use 400

Holy shit I need to try this that is so aestethicc

thanks my friend but im not im a different person

I use these guys: amazon.com/gp/product/B00004SU73/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The noise on the actual pictures is just about 0, it's my shitty scanner making everything a bit grainy.

nice man

i use disposable or this huge nikon thing. i started using this samsung camera i buy for 2$ but still not done first roll on it. i think the autofocus is broken

pros
>8200 redline
>VVTL-i
>dash mounted shifter
>lots of space (that I'll never use)
>no one gives me attention because it looks like a regular cuckbox

cons
>pretty heavy compared to other hot hatches
>not as fuel efficient as I had hoped when I bought it, but thats only because I can't keep my foot off the gas
>its kind of ugly and looks pigfat from the side especially
>no one gives me attention because its a regular cuckbox

>shitbox Saab
saabs are never shitboxes no matter how cheap you got it

sounds more like a Japanese kei van to me.

but it is a 00s car, which means it's outdated just right. Also green backlights are much better than orange.

use better colors next time.

>everything is illuminated red
>highly adjustable seats
>AWD
>webasto and cruise control
extra
>when I see myself from the reflection of a store window while driving it, it makes me feel like I am someone

This is one step from "Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"

My Golf Mk4

>the start up roar
>heavy steering
>dont have to worry about using too much power
>can hoon it safely since its so slow
>heater
>everything works, no fixes needed in a year ownership

First gear can go to 100mph

Automatically gives a slight bit of throttle when lifting the clutch to avoid stalling

pros
>comfy
>comfy
>makes me feel like a big boy
>6 doors for more whores
>like a cooler minivan
>did I mention it's comfy?

cons
>can never afford a full tank of gas
>"hey dude can you help me move furniture on the other side of town I can't comp you for gas tho"
>like a cooler minivan

The iconic starter sound in my 98 civic

And the turning radius is nuts, used to have a grand am and i love the civic so much more even tho it has half the hp and tq

That’s funny, because that’s the one thing that absolutely repulses me about modern fords. What the fuck kind of faggot needs help not stalling a car. These are literally made for nu males and girls who need a computer to help them get into first. Sad.

Old Saab autist here

I feel u dawg

They managed to make plastic look like 15 or so different materials. They will probably just melt it down and make a new one when it goes

god i want an old suburban so badly.

Post more green interiors. Mine's a shitty orange.

Why?

hole in the floorboard of my XJ directly above muffler, heats cabin. heater doesn't work, but she still gets nice and toasty.

Heated seats and heated steering wheel automatically turn on below 40° with auto start.

I want one

CR-V?

>pros
It runs
>cons
too many to list

The classic 900 is the saabiest Saab, but the 9000 might be the best Saab.

If it isn't a daily I would go with the 900, it does make a fine daily, but the 9000 is much comfier, more efficient, easier to get silly amounts of power, cheaper transmission and transmission upgrade paths.

B5 A4 user?

>Astra F
literally more a shitbox than a civic

>>cons
>too many to list
feel ya brother

Paid $290 for it and then another $552 for insurance
>kill me

This, I'd like to add though that the Saab 99 Turbo is perhaps even more saabier than the 9000

That's pretty. It's 80's tho.

Nah mine's a '95

I have a 95 cse as well. In the states we got an updated trip computer. Driver and passenger airbags. Lost the glove compartment due to passenger airbag.

It's still an 80's car.

So is the 900ng.. as it borrowed extremely heavily from Opel introduced in 1988

OP was talking about design. And what's with the irrelevant comeback? How can one dislike 80's aesthetics?

A dealer once gave us a new Aero loaner. It was one of the finest cars I've ever had the pleasure of driving. Wonderful stereo, fast, solid, fun, huge inside

The 80s styled 9000 wasnt that great. The 91 redesign was much nicer.

>pro
reliable as fuck
indestructible engine
factory lowered
sport supsension
adequate power
4 doors and space in the back
spare parts available new and stupid cheap
no flimsy electronics

>cons
hard suspenison
a little thirsty if you kick it around
may rust if you neglect it

>3.56 MB, 6000x4000

sry, came from a DSLR

The older crown vics used 302s didn't they? If so put a 351 in it and boom.

They used coil springs or airbags, not leaf springs

Call me what you will, but I've grown to love this interior.
>comfy green and red interior
>cupholders
>intuitive hvac controls
>best air vents
>lots of cupholders
>column mounted shifter
>functional, not overpowering head unit
>did we mention cupholders?

>cup holders fit flush into the dash
I love this feature so much

Wow that pic makes my 1st gen look like crap

vw good quality even better than my dads 2008 toyota.
have one for 3 years it takes all abuse fine. still slow as poo tho

hyundai getz 2006
>the 4spd autobox has an overdrive, so at 95km/h it isnt screaming its head studs off, instead it sits at around 2400 rpm
>yellow gauge lights
>cubby holes errrrywhere
>rear seats flip up and can be taken out = incredibly practical
>best of all, the it has actual knobs and dials to regulate the temperature in the car which dont rotate infinitely. comfy AF.

things i dont like
>the steering wheel is a shit plastic shit. will swap for a leather one.
