Man computer graphics are advancing so much! Definitely top work! I should have known based on the color of the sky. Looks like a post hydrogen bomb sky.
RE ironjoe's car: I just think it would have come out much better if he had used the regular integrated front bumper and maybe added a more aggressive skirt. IMHO one shouldn't mess too much with the c900's plastic panels and rims. I think ironjoe's car looks too "industrial" at the front and too aggressive. If that was the point then fine but I think it could be better with the stock panels.

I've seen Iron Joe's car in person and it rocks. You just have to see it in person.
Here's his car featured in Euro Tuner:

I think Iron Joe's C900 looks awesome, but I would have gone with a different color on the rims. I'm not too fond of cars with wheels that are the same color as the body, gotta have some contrast!

True, I agree. Standard Aero wheels have the contrasting 3 spokes which I like.

Re reading this post I remember reading on the book "SAAB 99 and 900, The Complete Story", and they mentioned "van" versions of the 900 being sold in Denmark without a back seat and the rear windows filled in because of the Danish commercial vehicle tax break... this could be a Danish van 900, which I imagine would be much better presented with any color but signal green...

Rice or not? most of it is functional (or so it seems), even the hood scoop.

All those guys from the Army base and their riced-up Saabs..
My day job is on an Army base. Army personnel have a reputation of enjoying fun, sporty cars, being the young gentleman (mostly) that they are. Part of their duty involves moving to different parts of the country/world. This makes taking along a vehicle a hassle sometimes. Our base has a small parking lot called the “Lemon Lot”. Sometimes I visit to see the variety of interesting cars, trucks & motorcycles displayed for sale there. They occasionally have RVs, boats & other unique/oddball modes of transport, as well.
