1987 SAAB 9000 turbo

insurance bought us this car in 1990 when our 1986 was “totaled”

it had the same louvers, but had a water cooled turbo and a sunroof. it had leather seats, but since cinda liked the velour of the 1986, we swapped interiors. it also had a SAAB parts steering wheel.

in 1996, while pulling into a parking spot at the Mariners newport campus, she accidentally hit a basketball pole, and the weeds under the car caught fire, and it caused an engine compartment fire. it was totaled. we got $5,250 for it and went and leased a Montero.
