9-5 with rear drums?!

What it says in the title. I saw one the other day. Lower end one, had what appeared to be klingons, but they had to have been 16s - and I don't know that the klingons ever came in 16s. We were in the parking lot and parked next to it; I expressed surprise at the drum brakes and told my wife that I thought it was an '01, and she rolled her eyes and called me a nerd.

At any rate - a 9-5 with rear drums?! Did they actually ship that, or did somebody do some terrible surgery?

Huh. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. There are quite a few Saabs around here, so...

Actually, that reminds me: My mom has a black 2006 9-3 Aero, and she lives right next to us so she watches my two-year-old son a lot.

It turns out that one of the moms at his daycare has a black '06 9-3 as well - though it's a 2.0t.

So, we're leaving one day, and my son sees the other Saab, and says, "Gramma's car! Gramma's car!" ... So, he knows what a Saab 9-3 looks like, but he doesn't know the difference between a 2.0t and an Aero.
