I figured this would go over with some amusment here. I got a call at 5am from a friend who's DI cassette in his Saab 9-3 went tits up. Just out of the clear blue like they usually do. He was about 50 miles away and across state lines, so a tow would've been really costly. So decided to make good use of the tow-hitch that I've only used once, and rented a tow dolly from u-haul, went down there and scooped him and the poor broken Saab up. We had a bit of trouble getting the car up the ramps of the tow dolly, but a good samaritan in the form of an old (but strong!) Greek man came around and gave us the push we needed to get the car fully up the ramps and into place, at which point he exclaimed "OOOPAAA!!". The 960 while towing what was equal to it's own weight, performed admirably and got all of us safely home. I took a good picture for your amusement. A nice humorous morsel of swedish rivalry.
