Nothing’s wrong with this picture. Saab is so far up the creek (and they lost their last paddle years ago) this should be on the title page of their official sales brochures.
Gives a whole new perspective to the term “Chia Pet.” Just add water (or splashes of randomly applied left-over paint) and voila, you now have a place for all that useless bric-a-brac that you couldn’t fit on your shelves, and couldn’t bring yourself to throw away…..
I’ll have to disagree with the above statement, I think many of the newer Saabs are good looking cars. My sis has an ’06 9-3 and it’s a nice ride. If I wasn’t so hopelessly poor, I’d consider a 9-3 for myself.
I do not believe I have ever seen an “art” car which approached the boundaries of what civilized peoples would call art. Gluing bits of plastic crap all over does not count. It looks like something a toddler would do.

I meant to say this Saab was ugly, not ALL Saabs. But my point was, (almost) no one buys a Saab for looks. You buy a Saab to be practical and to flaunt your practicality.

That’ll buff right out.

Are those used party condoms?
Uh, and what’s up with the vanity plate theme?
(shudders)
Looks like something a serial killer would drive.
Shot on Brattle Street, in Cambridge Mass. I see this car about once a year.
No condoms. There are some Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble pez dispensers.
To quote Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:
“You’re so ugly you could be a modern [car] art masterpiece”

The Saab is already ugly BEFORE becoming an “artcar”. People who buy Saabs shouldn’t CARE about appearance. Even crazy/bad appearance. LOL

That’s what happens when you park underneath a tree that’s full of plastic lawn flamingos.
Oh god damnit, I know who owns this.
Have seen this on some other sites already.
It’s about the same vintage as mine.
But when I see pics of this, all I can think is
“pressure washer”.
How do they expect you to get any PEZ out of the dispensers when you can’t tip their little heads back?

@BlueBrat :

Chip Foose?
I think it would have looked good if they’d just done the Jackson Pollock style paint job and stopped there.
Looks like the car is owned by a yuppie who has hit hard times….
1: Splash leftover paint from community art project all over car.
2: Crash through flea market.
3: Remove all “non-theme” objects before paint dries.
MEOWWW license plate and not a single LOLCAT or Cat, that’s what’s wrong.
I’ve seen this car and it looks sort of neat in person. The owner clearly has a sense of humor.
I know what’s wrong. It’s the title of this post.
Should read
“What’s wrong with state? Hippy Fail edition”
It’s spring – time to switch out the snow tires.
