Battle Saab

The Term "Battle Saab" refers to a highly customized 1988 Saab 900 hatchback owned by Wisconsin Custom Car Builder Shane Dar. "Battle Saab" features Diamond Plate armor on its lower body, a front mounted push-bar, and a roof-mounted axe/shovel rack. Battle Saab's most prominent feature is the large Jolly Roger emblazoned on its roof. (Similar to the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard) Engine modifications include dual Holley/Weber 5200 progressive carburetors and an Eaton M90 supercharger. While the exact function Battle Saab was built to serve is unknown, the vehicle was in active service from June 2005 to January 2006, when it disappeared.

Since its construction, Battle Saab has developed quite a following especially in and around Menasha, Wisconsin and has been assigned the nicknames "The Red Abortion", "The Swedish Monster", and "Puddles". The term "Battle Saab-ers" refers to numerous fans of the vehicle. "Battle On." is a popular piece of Battle Saab-er jargon, the phrase first coined by the television show, Xena the Warrior Princess.
