So I was in buying a wiring harness to hook up Bluetooth in my vintage 9-5 last week and had a word with one of the salesmen I used to work with. He knew my folks' lease was up on their M04 and suggested that they come in and drive the M07 Anniversary Edition 9-3. Doubting that they would oblige to such an offer, I asked for numbers anyway and brought the info back to my folks.
Due to my parents', um, unfounded discontent with a certain moderator's father who happens to be sales manager at said dealership, I was put in charge of procuring the M07 344ASR Anniversary Edition in Fusion Blue. Mom wasn't sure if that was the blue she liked or not... she used to have a Midnight Blue 9-5 (no longer available), knew it wasn't Nocturne or Cosmic blue, so she said it must be Fusion Blue.
This morning I went to the dealership and by some sort of miracle, the car she wanted had arrived on the truck that weekend and was ready for delivery. I had the salesman write up the final numbers and I told him I'd send her in for a test drive and to finalize the deal later today. Hours pass and I decided to call Mom because, shit, I wanted in on some test drive action too! Well she had already been there, signed the deal and will be taking delivery on Thursday morning. Then she said the coolest thing I think she's ever said to me... "It's still not the blue I wanted... remember that 9-3 they had a few years ago, it only came in that color?" "Viggen?! Lightning Blue" "Yeah, it was like an electric blue!" Mom, despite her inability to drive standard had a thing for the Viggen! Now I see where I get it
