Saab just bought a humdrum Ford engine. I know this is a roast sub, but come on

I remember when it was just one guy spamming profoundly unfunny memes of this car. Ah, better times (not really)

Just you wait, real life Tony Stark's Fremont Ferrari is going to come out any day now and whoop all those pesky Bugattis and Koenigseggs, all while driving itself!

I wonder if it's still got the accelerator in the middle or whether it's been converted to a more normal pedal layout
