I've always opted for the term 'terrorist' in these situations. It has double meaning: first, terrorists are lower than junk (or pondscum) and, second, the bonds are holding you hostage and you can only pray that the corporation can someday free! (See: 'bond'age.) ;-) ‘Pondscum’ — LOL! I’ve always opted for the term ‘terrorist’ in these situations.

There are Saabs in Hong Kong too, but they tend to live in what was called the New Territories. In the early 1990s, I saw a 900 classic have a head-on with a new Honda in Chiba Prefecture Japan. The Honda (a Legend) collapsed its engine bay and firewall into the front seats-killing the occupants from tib, fib, and chest injuries. The Saab owner walked away with a very sore head and sprains. Tropical 900 classic turbos by the way, had the battery moved to the boot- to avoid excess heat soak from the turbo and ambient temps. Plenty of Saabs in Singapore too - but I hear the auto gearboxes hated the traffic and temperatures even more than usual. Am off for a blast in a classic 900GLI now. Its Pommyland in the winter and -9 here. Re: Saab in Asia.The last time I checked there was a thriving de facto Saab Owners Club in Japan – regular gatherings in Tokyo.
