Forza Motorsports SAABs
I'm starting a thread here for Forza Motorsports SAABs, instead of keeping on posting them on the "Talk About Anything" thread.
Forza Motorsport 4 has three SAABs, a 1978 99 Turbo, a 2002 9-3 Aero, and a 2008 9-3 Tubo X. Forza allows you now only to modify the car's performance, but also allows a lot of customization to the car's paint. For me that's one of the coolest things in the game and I spend a lot of time doing new paint schemes. Here are some of mine. If you are a Forza player post your FM SAABs here.
First, my 70's 99 Turbo, I added more striped plus a swoosh that follows the SAAB "hockey stick". The wheels are Ronal Turbo 2 wheels, which looks perfect for that 99.

Gone: '87 Saab 900i - '95 Saab 900 SE Turbo

Second is a racing 99 based on the one above. The color was switched to orange (still very 70s), the car got Super Advan Racing wheels (very SAAB-like), plus all the upgrades the game had for the little 99. The old Swede is troked to 2.4 liters, now has 370 horsepower and all wheel drive, hence the huge rear wing (not just for show). She is a beast to drive.
Yes it will outrun Aston Martins and Ferraris
That Vette just got passed by a SAAB

My racing 9-3 Aero, aka "Viggen". This is a flashy paint job, maybe too much going on here? White background, the round blue things, that green "algae", and the semi transparent dots rising from the front wheel to the upper rear as if throw up with the dirt off the tires. Either way, it was fun doing this one, it was more an exercise of the imagination, to see what could be done here. Same wheels as the racing 99.

Finally, here is my 9-3 Tubo X Stockholm Polis car. I made this fictitious cop car based on pictures of actual Swedish police cars.

I'm itching to get the Xbox One, when it comes out, just for Forza 5. But $500 is a lot of money to drop on a gaming system, especially when each game is $60.

Xbox One might be severely limited by DRM and require online check ins every 24 hours. Sounds crazy to me.

They've back-pedaled on nearly all DRM fronts. I've been following it relatively closely, and people acted like Microsoft would be able to flip a switch and turn this off. This will require lots of long nights for people on this project.
I was originally so disappointed when it was announced all the DRM nanny features Xbox One was going to have, and feared I might have to go to Playstation. I've been on Xbox since the original came out. I'd hate to see it go down the tubes, so I was happy when they finally changed their mind (due to pressure from fans and consumers).Free SaabWorld Stickers

I used to be a Playstation guy, but got tired of Gran Turismo. It;s good to know MS is backpedaling on the DRM stuff, as it bordered on the ridiculous, and Sony exploited it and won a lot of fans:

Yeah. I'm still nervous what will happen, because everyone knows what Microsoft *wants* to do.
