According to the local Saab specialist, my car runs impressively cool. Or rather, impressively L.

Saab logic.

It makes sense in Sweden.

Lünquørvorkt, is what i'm guessing it stands for.

I'm just glad mine is a '95 with the revised dashboard and electric window control switches. I have visions of Saab dealers calling Trollhattan and being all "Nobody can roll the damn windows down! CHANGE IT!" and Saab going "It's forwards for down, backwards for up*! It makes total sense..."

*IIRC from the '94 I test-drove before I bought this one. It might actually be the other way round...

Huh, I never had issues with cooling on my CSE, even with the turbo mapped to about 1 bar and trashing it on the 'ring in August. The dial barely nudged the center point. As far as I've heard, cooling on 9000s is fairly over-engineered.

And if you still haven't ordered badges: Most people in my local club swear by the stick-on badges, as opposed to the classic ones. They seem to be indestructible. :)

Needs moar Night Panel. Blacks out all but the speedometer, and only turns on backlighting to a gauge if there is an anomaly.

Got to love Saabs.

In Saablandia, R means to Refuel (possibly a jet reference).
